¿Qué cubre este video?

The crew of a cruising sailboat performs extensive maintenance during a haul-out at a shipyard, focusing on hull preparation and through-hull valve inspection. After sanding the hull for several days, the team addresses the difficulty of reaching the underside of the wide-beamed vessel while supported by jack stands.2:08 They prioritize smoothing the hull surface above the waterline to minimize algae and slime accumulation.6:30 The maintenance routine includes inspecting all through-hull fittings and valves; the crew discovers several seized valves that require removal and replacement.10:26 Because the interior layout restricts access to these fittings, they must dismantle stairs and cabinetry to reach them.12:29 The team also attempts to replace propeller shaft seals but decides against it after finding the components seized and functioning properly.25:28 They successfully remove the propeller cone and propeller using heat and leverage provided by shipyard tools to facilitate painting.30:02 Finally, they replace the sacrificial anodes, noting the importance of keeping them free of antifouling paint to ensure proper galvanic protection.27:12
