¿Qué cubre este video?

The 10-year rebuild of the former fishing trawler *Brewpeg* concludes with its first sea trial in calm waters.0:50 The crew tests the vessel’s hydraulic anchor winch and engine systems, identifying minor oil leaks and a need for a deck wash system to clear mud from the bow.17:23 During the trial, the crew discovers that the boat lacks steering authority in reverse, a common characteristic of the vessel's design.4:13 They learn to maintain a straight line while backing by using short bursts of forward throttle combined with opposite rudder lock, avoiding the need for a costly bow thruster installation.4:20 The steering wheel nut also loosens during the transit, requiring mechanical attention.13:36 Future upgrades planned for the vessel include installing two dedicated reversing cameras, extending the main engine and generator exhaust stacks, and replacing a temporary trailer-style anchor roller.27:19 The trial confirms that the propulsion and anchoring systems are functional, though further work is required to make the boat fully independent of marina infrastructure.17:21
