Qué cubre este vídeo
Refitting a sailboat while living in a van at Foundry Cove Marina, the crew faces strict management policies prohibiting overnight stays and onboard work.0:59 To expedite their launch, they prioritize essential repairs: tightening keel bolts to 350 foot-pounds, unseizing a Max Prop, and addressing bilge leaks.1:50 The hull requires significant maintenance, as old bottom paint flakes off in large sections; the crew opts for a quick, partial scrape and a single coat of antifouling paint rather than a full barrier coat to meet a 1:30 p.m. launch deadline.14:54 Managing two young children during the refit complicates the schedule, forcing the family to relocate to their vehicle each night to sleep.0:22 The crew plans to complete a more thorough bottom job and further systems upgrades at a different marina once the boat is back in the water.16:20 Prioritizing essential tasks over cosmetic perfection allows the crew to exit a restrictive marina environment and return to living aboard.16:26
