¿Qué cubre este video?

The crew of the 543-day haul-out prepares to relaunch their boat, Catalpa, after extensive refit work in a boatyard.0:51 The primary mechanical issue involves a stuck centerboard that fails to deploy despite attempts to inspect the cable, pin, and mounting hardware while suspended in the travel lift.11:22 The owner determines the board is likely jammed by growth or a structural kink, deciding to leave it in the retracted position for the upcoming passage since the planned route is downwind.12:07 Additional pre-launch tasks include reattaching the forestay, cleaning the hull, and activating the existing antifouling paint with a Scotch-Brite pad per manufacturer guidance.12:30 The crew also repairs electrical damage caused by rats, including a compromised transducer wire.13:15 Upon splashing at 6 a.m., the crew confirms the bilges remain dry and successfully motors to a nearby marina, though they experience a temporary loss of electrical power upon arrival.18:48
