Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A five-year refit of a Sea SPRITE 30 gets a detailed walkthrough, covering nearly every system on the boat.0:09 In the V-berth, Total Boat epoxy bilge paint has been applied throughout, a water tank removed, through-hulls eliminated, and a carbon fiber drain tube planned for the anchor locker.0:51 The head has been stripped to bare hull; a replacement Jabsco manual head is under consideration, and shower sump drainage — previously routed to the bilge — is being redesigned.2:19 The salon gains a new-old-stock Cape Dory cabinet fitted to the bulkhead to support a drop-down table, and damaged veneer coach roof panels have been replaced with laminate.2:56 Galley changes include a single larger sink with a repositioned faucet for easier under-counter access, foot and hand pumps, a Force 10 electric induction cooktop possibly paired with a custom gimbaled microwave, and conversion of the existing icebox to a refrigerated cold-plate system.5:32 The entire DC electrical system is being replaced with digital switching — likely Victron CERBO GX-based — eliminating individual breaker runs in favor of a single power line with node control boxes.10:31 A Beta 20 engine replaces the old powerplant, a new fuel tank is inbound, the propane locker has been removed to reclaim cockpit space, and the steering pedestal is being eliminated in favor of a tiller conversion.13:30 Deck recoring is complete; mast partner cracks require Dremel work and possible additional glassing.15:08 Phipps Boatworks will handle complex joinery once a slot opens.16:05
