Vernon hauls his catamaran, Trade Runner, out of the water at Helena Marina in Serang, Papua, Indonesia, for anti-fouling maintenance.▶ 0:56 The vessel requires a haul-out after two years of service before a planned transit to Darwin, Australia, and eventually the East Coast of Australia.▶ 0:24 To reach the facility, the crew navigates a four-mile delta of narrow, murky rivers and estuaries, relying on a local guide, Captain Darlan, to navigate shoaling areas.▶ 2:12 The transit occurs on a high tide, with the boat maintaining a depth of two meters under the rudders.▶ 2:26 Helena Marina utilizes a non-hydraulic, homemade trailer system where the boat is positioned over the submerged trailer and then pulled up the ramp.▶ 0:56 Unlike previous haul-out locations, the river environment at Helena Marina provides calm water with negligible wind and current, simplifying the positioning process.▶ 7:37
