Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A catamaran sustained significant hull damage and a displaced keel after a container collision during Hurricane Beryl.0:12 Restoration efforts in Kerriakou currently focus on manually scraping old antifouling paint from the hulls to prepare for repairs.7:03 Due to a lack of reliable electricity in the boatyard, the crew relies on manual scraping tools rather than power sanders or grinders.7:21 To mitigate skin irritation from fiberglass dust and antifouling particles, the crew uses protective clothing, long latex gloves, and Vaseline on exposed skin, while also washing with laundry powder after work.13:20 The scraping process involves rotating the scraper blades to utilize all four edges and using beer crates as stable platforms for reaching higher sections of the hull.3:22 The crew manages fatigue by taking short, frequent breaks and working in the shade to avoid heat exhaustion.5:14 Progress is slow, with approximately 25% of the hull surface cleared.18:16
