Timo, Jo, Nemo, and Solo are refitting their yacht, NV, in Fiji to transition the vessel from an ex-race boat to a performance family cruiser.0:04 To protect the boat during the upcoming cyclone season, the crew plans to secure the hull to a shipping container that will also serve as an on-site workshop.0:37 After multiple failed attempts to source a suitable unit from local yards and private owners, the crew purchases a one-trip, beige, high-cube container for $8,000.2:46 The high-cube model adds 30 centimeters to the total height of the setup, requiring adjustments to the planned cyclone pit depth.4:07 The final installation strategy involves placing the container on blocks to prevent rust, mounting the boat in cradles atop the container, and securing the entire assembly to buried concrete blocks using five-ton ratchet straps.5:47 The container provides both a stable, rectangular base for storm-proofing and additional storage space for the ongoing refit.4:40
