Chris prepares his boat for departure from a French marina, marking "T-Zero" as the final day of dockside maintenance before heading to England.11:33 The vessel currently features a problematic water tank system where a single take-off from the port tank requires heeling the boat to transfer water from the starboard side; a future manifold installation will resolve this.0:39 Maintenance tasks completed include cleaning the bilges, jet-washing the deck, and installing a new fuel strainer and transfer pump.6:07 Rig tuning is deferred until the boat reaches a waiting dock to avoid local occupational health and safety regulations regarding mast work near active construction cranes.4:12 The departure plan involves using a stern line to pivot the boat away from the dock while engaging the engine astern.3:19 Future upgrades include mounting an induction cooktop, supported by a lithium-ion battery bank, solar panels, and a forthcoming hydro-generator.9:58 The boat is scheduled to transit the lock at the next tide to take on fuel and retrieve the mainsail.7:27
