Qué cubre este vídeo

A broken furler necessitates a full mast replacement on a cruising sailboat in St. Martin.0:24 Because the new mast is shipped from Europe in a container, it arrives in two sections that require an on-site splice before installation.12:14 During the removal of the old mast, the yard discovers a mismatch between the new mast base and the existing deck collar, requiring an adaptation of the old base to fit the new profile.16:53 Electrical contractors at the marina are tasked with fishing new wiring through the mast and testing the radar, VHF, and navigation lights.11:11 The project faces delays due to the base misalignment and scheduling, preventing the final stepping of the mast before the owner departs the island.18:14 Separately, the owner reports a recent surge in boat boardings and thefts in St. Martin, recommending the use of solar-powered security cameras with audible alarms and strobe lights to deter intruders while at anchor.4:07
