Qué cubre este vídeo
The 40-foot sailboat Elixir undergoes a major refit at Tauranga Bridge Marina in New Zealand, including a complete mast rebuild and a full electronics upgrade. After repairing a damaged forestay tang and tapping new holes in the aluminum mast head for a Raymarine wind sensor and navigation light, the crew steps the mast and relaunches the vessel.▶ 16:12 During the initial motor to the marina, the engine overheats due to a cracked seawater strainer that allowed air into the cooling system.▶ 18:31 The crew identifies the air leak, resolves the issue, and successfully berths the boat.▶ 18:39 The refit also involves installing a comprehensive Raymarine suite, including Axiom chart plotters, radar, AIS, and a transducer for depth and speed, replacing the previous setup that relied solely on an iPhone and Navionics.▶ 11:03 The project concludes with the boat back in the water, though interior and electrical work remain ongoing.▶ 19:11
