Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Chris prepares an F40 trimaran for relaunch at Portland Yacht Services (PYS) in Maine after a period of yard work.6:08 The vessel requires a 200-ton travel lift for hauling and launching due to its beam, a process that complicates the lifting of the central hull and puts tension on the nets.7:51 To mitigate maneuverability issues caused by the boat's wing mast and lack of an effective outboard engine in reverse, Chris utilizes a professional towboat service to move the trimaran from the lift well to the dock.11:08 The mast is stepped using a forklift and a specialized sling system that allows for a quick-release disconnect from the crane without requiring a person to climb the mast.7:21 Post-launch tasks include reinstalling the rudder, boom, and bowsprit, as well as rebuilding the trampolines.12:28 The trimaran is slated for a winter refit to prepare for the Newport Bermuda Race.15:17
