Qué cubre este vídeo

A 27-foot trimaran undergoes a 15-month refit at the Cabrales boatyard in Mexico, culminating in a high-tide launch requiring precise maneuvering through a narrow travelift slip.21:09 The project includes a full topsides and cockpit repaint, rudder cassette modifications to improve helm feel and breakaway safety, and the installation of a new 20-gallon permanent gas tank.0:12 The owner services eight winches, reinforces deck pad eyes with carbon fiber and fiberglass, and installs new Raymarine wind, depth, and speed instruments.8:55 Because the boat features a rotating mast, the wind anemometer is mounted on an equipment tower to avoid complex wireless mast-rotation sensors.20:18 The launch requires a 5-meter high tide to clear the travelift walls, leaving only a one-foot clearance on either side.10:19 After the boat enters the water, the owner completes final electrical connections and tests the new transducer and instrument network.17:46 The refit concludes with the vessel successfully returning to the water for cruising in the Sea of Cortez.21:45
