What this video covers
Khiara and Adam are hauling out their Tayana VANCOUVER 42 for an indefinite period to return to Australia for family health reasons.▶ 4:29 The couple transitioned from a short-term maintenance plan—which included checking seacocks—to a long-term storage strategy after receiving a terminal medical prognosis for Khiara’s father.▶ 3:55 They have stripped the boat, charged the batteries, and winterised the vessel by covering the cockpit and dinghy with heavy-duty waterproof tarps.▶ 6:55 The haul-out process at the yard required driving the boat directly into a crane positioned in the water, a method the pair observed during a previous launch to understand the specific tidal and operational requirements.▶ 0:52 Despite the unplanned departure, they noted that the inexpensive Naughty brand anti-fouling paint applied in Trinidad kept the hull clean of growth.▶ 2:28 The boat remains in the yard under the supervision of local staff while the owners prioritise family time.▶ 8:16
