Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A catamaran captain hauls out at Rosshaven Marina in Townsville, Australia, to repair hull damage sustained in a collision with a commercial vessel in the Whitsundays.0:39 The haul-out requires reversing the 7-meter-wide boat into a 7.2-meter travel lift during 25-knot winds, a maneuver complicated by the need to avoid fouling the propellers in the lift slings.0:57 Inspection reveals the impact caused no structural fiberglass damage, only cracking in the thick fairing compound where the hull flexed between bulkheads.11:37 Repairs include sanding and re-fairing the hull, replacing cutlass bearings, and applying Seabarrier 3000 antifouling paint.14:39 The captain also repairs a snapped daggerboard by laminating teak into the cassette-housed break.5:35 After seven days on the hardstand, the crew replaces the packing glands and returns the vessel to the water.23:40 The captain notes that the collision settlement was resolved through a professional assessment, avoiding insurance claims.25:46
