After arriving in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, the crew identified a need for larger winches but found new units prohibitively expensive.1:22 A contact in Faro provided access to a warehouse containing equipment salvaged from boats abandoned in a local yard for seven years.8:02 Khiara flew from Lanzarote to Lisbon and traveled to Faro to inspect the inventory.5:58 She purchased two 44-size winches for 200 euros each, significantly less than the 1,500 to 3,000 euro cost of new units.12:00 The winches, which weigh 12.5 kilograms each due to their chrome finish, were transported back to the boat as luggage.13:37 The yard owner also included several interior lights at no additional cost.15:39 The crew plans to perform a direct performance comparison between the new 44-size winches and their existing 42-size units.15:19
