The owners of the George Buehler sailboat *Red Aviva* are preparing for a relaunch after an extensive refit in a boatyard.0:28 The project involves replacing fasteners below the waterline, specifically addressing electrolysis damage on the keel straps and hardware caused by a year of stationary mooring in a marina.11:53 The crew is sanding and priming the keel to mitigate wood drying and shrinkage, while simultaneously fiberglassing complex curves on the cabin roof.1:13 They are awaiting a shipment of new screws to complete the refastening process and expect the return of rudder and shaft hardware shortly.2:32 The team notes that while mild steel performs well underwater in low-oxygen environments, it requires consistent maintenance and proper zinc protection to prevent corrosion.14:50 The boat is expected to be ready for relaunch within two weeks, at which point remaining cosmetic work will be completed in the water.2:18
