The crew of the 16-year-old sailboat Y2K prepares for Tropical Cyclone RAE while docked at Nawi Marina in Savusavu, Vanua Levu, Fiji.0:15 To mitigate storm risks, the owners relocate the vessel from pier P1 to the P4 pontoon, which is certified for category 5 cyclone conditions.5:31 The crew secures the boat with doubled lines attached to heavy-duty pilings and removes the genoa, staysail, and cockpit bimini/tendalings to reduce windage.19:01 During these preparations, the captain replaces the engine mounts, which had failed due to age, and installs a new transmission coupling to address excessive vibration.8:09 Meteorological data from Windy, comparing GFS and EC models, indicates the cyclone will likely bring 40-knot winds to their location.16:12 The crew monitors the storm's track as it moves south-southwest of Taveuni.23:56 Proactive maintenance of engine mounts and rigorous storm-mooring configurations are essential for vessels remaining in the South Pacific during the cyclone season.
