¿Qué cubre este video?

After eight months tied up in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Steve hauls Arabella out of the water to inspect the bottom, repaint, and prepare for a passage to the south coast.▶ 0:00 The haul-out required two attempts — the first aborted because of wind — and Arabella took new dents blowing into the travel lift.▶ 14:33 Bottom fouling after eight months at the dock turned out to be slime only, removed with a scrub brush and low-pressure hose; ice from a winter freeze-in chipped paint near the rudder but caused no structural damage.▶ 11:33 Steve sanded the topsides with 120-grit, applied fairing compound to dings, and painted the bottom, applying Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier to the prop on the recommendation of AccuTech's Larry.▶ 14:58 Pre-departure sewing projects included a custom anchor locker chain guide with a separating zipper and brass-rod stiffener, a finished staysail cover with webbing stops, and five rope bags for line storage.▶ 1:03 Moving the boat to the haul-out ramp solo without the prop installed required walking her downwind one line at a time.▶ 9:44 Crew member Madison flew in to help with boatwork; Robin drove Akiva the dog to Burgeo while Steve and Madison sailed down, arriving in light air and motor-sailing the final stretch to beat darkness.▶ 16:14 Bottom fouling after a long stationary winter proved far less severe than anticipated.▶ 11:21
