Qué cubre este vídeo

Returning to a Wharram Pahi 42 after three months in a marina in A Coruña, Spain, the owner finds the vessel intact but suffering from significant marine growth, seized metal components, and a failed lead-acid battery.15:48 The marina’s heavy surge caused rubber snubbers to snap, though the resealed Samson Post remained secure.9:04 The outboard engines required manual priming and clearing of cooling passages to restore water flow.19:24 Interior conditions showed signs of mold and mustiness due to lack of ventilation.10:41 The owner plans to address hull rot around the daggerboard slots and heavy fouling by hauling the boat at a nearby yard, while simultaneously navigating French residency visa requirements to extend his stay in Europe.24:58 Future goals include upgrading to a lithium battery bank and installing a protective cockpit enclosure before attempting an Atlantic crossing.26:22 The owner intends to depart the marina by May to begin single-handed sailing trials.26:00
