Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the 40-foot sailboat Catalpa hauls the vessel out of the water at a boatyard in Panama for maintenance.0:59 Initial inspections reveal a worn cutlass bearing with approximately 3 millimeters of play and several small blisters on the hull, which the owners identify as minor osmosis.3:50 To manage the heat and the intensity of the refit, the family secures an Airbnb for a month, allowing them to work on the boat during the day and retreat to air-conditioned accommodation at night.16:24 Planned projects include replacing through-hull valves and skin fittings, applying new antifouling paint, and potentially addressing the rigging.15:43 The crew attempts to remove old antifouling paint using wet sanding and paint scrapers, noting that the manual labor is physically demanding and slow.14:04 A planned hard-top construction project is canceled due to a loss of sponsorship.15:21 The crew emphasizes that separating living quarters from the workspace significantly improves the efficiency and morale of the haul-out process.16:10
