A 9.5-meter Kerr Dragon catamaran was transported by road and relaunched at the Caboolture River in Queensland, Australia, after a year of maintenance on the hard.0:25 The owner utilized a tilt tray truck and a low-loader semi-trailer to move the hull and the mast separately, keeping the load width at 4 meters to avoid special convoy permits.2:13 A crane lifted the 3-tonne vessel from the truck bed directly into the water at a public boat ramp.1:25 Rigging was reassembled on-site, with turnbuckles pre-taped to ensure correct tension upon re-stepping the mast.8:33 Maintenance performed during the haul-out included stripping 25 years of antifouling, applying eight layers of Coppercoat, replacing a rotted transom with Nitecore and epoxy, and installing stainless steel grab rails and rigid water tanks.10:55 The project concluded with the vessel motoring to an anchorage in preparation for a passage to New Caledonia or Vanuatu.12:42
