Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The owners of Yabá, a 2007 wooden schooner, perform the vessel's first-ever haul-out at a shipyard to address chronic hull leaks and bilge flooding.0:41 Because the boat has only been dry-beached since its construction, the crew faces significant risk of structural failure when the keel is lifted and the hull's weight shifts from water pressure to a custom-fitted trailer bed.0:59 The shipyard uses a large winch and a trailer with adjustable supports to accommodate the schooner's U-shaped hull.2:46 During the lift, the crew reports hearing wood creaking but successfully clears the water without structural damage.6:47 Once on land, they identify several hull holes and marine growth, including shipworms.10:18 The crew decides to scrape the hull to locate and patch all leaks with epoxy, clean the rudder and propeller, and perform essential repairs before returning to the water.11:07 The successful lift allows the owners to stop monitoring bilge pumps overnight.15:28
