Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Paulo and his partner Katarina bought a Colvic Craft Victor 40 — nicknamed "Old Knight" — that had sat neglected for 12 years, leaving the interior saturated with mold and water damage.1:06 The previous owners had sealed the boat and abandoned it, causing the ceiling and berth to rot out; the engine had been submerged and held standing water inside.2:18 Over three months, Paulo worked through the restoration in stages: hull, deck, and sail cleaning came first, followed by a rigging inspection that found the swageless fittings intact and serviceable.3:13 The masts were stepped by crane.4:29 The engine was stripped of water, rebuilt, and repainted, then started successfully.4:40 Paulo replaced all through-hulls, applied antifouling paint, and added a bootstripe.5:12 Interior woodwork followed, with surface finishing applied panel by panel — a slow process he describes as laborious but visually clean once complete.5:56 The first sail marks the end of the three-month refit. The video does not specify where the boat is kept or where it will sail next season.
