Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The owners of a Jeanneau 40, currently hauled out in a Panamanian boatyard, face significant structural damage to the vessel’s internal grid after the yard performed an improper lift.18:35 The boat was placed on stands that lacked sufficient support, causing the fiberglass grid to crack away from the hull.19:14 After an insurance claim was denied due to the yard’s refusal to accept liability, the owners opted to fund and manage the repairs independently.1:35 They replaced the damaged grid sections using epoxy resin rather than polyester, citing superior adhesion and lower shrinkage for structural repairs.33:04 To facilitate the work, the crew had to remove the fuel tank, batteries, and wiring, while also sourcing a replacement cutlass bearing from Europe.3:30 Because the boat was left on a severe list, the owners eventually signed a liability waiver to have the yard reposition the support pads under the boat's bulkheads and stringers to level the hull.22:06 Proper structural support during a haul-out requires aligning lift pads with the vessel's internal bulkheads and stringers to prevent hull deformation.
