Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the 18-tonne sailboat Nandji - Frothlyfe performs a series of maintenance tasks while anchored in Knysna, South Africa, to address wear accumulated during an Indian Ocean crossing. The primary repair involves re-tensioning the cable steering system, which had developed significant slack and required adjustment of the bulldog grips at the rudder block.1:42 Additional maintenance includes changing the oil in the watermaker’s high-pressure pump and planning for a future acid wash of the teak deck.11:28 To address underwater maintenance, the crew coordinates with a local rigger, Dave, to haul the vessel out on a slipway for a cutlass bearing replacement and anti-fouling application.13:46 Because the Knysna entrance and slipway are depth-restricted, the haul-out is timed specifically for high tide.19:29 The crew secures temporary, dog-friendly accommodation nearby to live in while the boat remains on the hard stand.16:49 Regular maintenance and proactive haul-outs are essential for ensuring vessel reliability during long-term cruising.
