The crew of the 45-foot catamaran Parlay Revival begins a two-month, anti-clockwise circumnavigation of New Zealand, departing from Auckland with plans to transit the west coast to Stewart Island.0:16 During a spinnaker run in 22 knots of wind toward Tryphena Harbour on Great Barrier Island, the spinnaker tack line’s pad eye rips the deck section away from the hull.12:46 The failure occurs because the factory construction relied on four screws and adhesive rather than a structural fiberglass bond.14:10 The damage leaves the bow deck lifted and cracked.13:11 The crew anchors in Shoal Bay to perform an emergency repair, which involves grinding away the original sealant, scarfing the fiberglass edges, and tabbing the deck to the hull using epoxy and fiberglass cloth to create a structural bond.17:17 The repair process requires removing deck cleats and working inside the forepeak to ensure the deck sits flush before re-glassing.18:54 Structural integrity in high-load areas like spinnaker tack points requires a mechanical fiberglass bond rather than relying on adhesive and fasteners.
