What this video covers
A refit of a custom sailing yacht in the Rio Dulce enters its final stages after a three-year yard period. The interior renovation includes new teak veneer slats, though some areas require further attention due to cracking and peeling.▶ 3:24 The crew identifies a persistent water leak around the windows, noting that previous attempts to seal the teak with epoxy failed after two months of sun exposure.▶ 9:36 A bilge pump hose failure caused water to backflow into a storage compartment, necessitating immediate repair.▶ 6:18 The vessel features a Coppercoat antifouling system that remains effective after seven years, showing minimal growth despite the long haul-out.▶ 14:07 The owners are auditing their stored gear, including cushions and a missing dinghy, while preparing the boat for a planned departure to Florida before the upcoming hurricane season.▶ 21:15
