Qué cubre este vídeo

The owners of a sailboat moored in Urca, Rio de Janeiro, face two primary maintenance challenges: a malfunctioning transmission and heavy hull fouling.0:32 After a recent seal replacement, the transmission fails to engage in forward gear, leaving the boat with only reverse.7:58 The crew removes the transmission unit using a borrowed chain hoist to facilitate a professional repair, as the internal mechanism is too complex for onboard servicing.9:38 Simultaneously, the crew struggles with rapid barnacle growth on the hull, which accelerates significantly with the onset of summer.6:23 They test various scraping tools, including a large plastering spatula with an extended handle, to clear the hull while minimizing time spent in the water.14:30 Additionally, the owner develops a custom mobile application using ESP32 microcontrollers to interface with the boat's systems via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.1:39 While the hardware successfully connects to a smartphone, the software integration remains a work in progress.7:28 The crew plans to finalize the transmission repair and continue hull maintenance before testing the boat's propulsion systems.
