Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of SV Delos performs a series of maintenance projects during a two-week haul-out in a boatyard.1:39 The primary technical task involves installing a forward-looking sonar transducer, which requires drilling a new through-hull hole in the hull.8:40 To ensure a flush fit, the crew constructs a custom epoxy wedge to compensate for the hull's deadrise angle, then repeats the process on the interior to provide a level mounting surface.16:25 Additional maintenance includes servicing the bow thruster, where the crew confirms the integrity of the seals by inspecting the gear oil for signs of water intrusion.21:08 The team also sands the hull, repairs localized damage to the barrier coat, and applies a fresh boot stripe.4:37 Interior maintenance involves steam cleaning cabin cushions to remove long-term stains and mold.19:14 The crew also prepares to replace existing 300-watt solar panels with 410-watt units and install a new mainsail.26:20 Careful planning and the use of fairing compounds and epoxy resin allow for structural modifications to the hull while maintaining watertight integrity.
