Crew grinds hull under catamaran in dry dock

Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The owners of an Outremer catamaran, currently hauled out for an extended period in Carriacou, perform structural modifications and maintenance while awaiting a resolution to local marina access issues. The crew fabricates and installs new aluminum support struts for the boat's stern arch, requiring custom welding services from a local professional. To prepare for the installation, they remove an obsolete wind generator mount and modify the bimini structure to improve water drainage. Additional maintenance includes inspecting the anchor chain for corrosion, cleaning the chain locker, and applying primer to the hull. The owners source fiberglass materials and epoxy from local hardware stores, noting significant cost savings compared to marine-specific chandleries.13:05 They also address a mechanical issue with the windlass anti-reverse pawl, which will require removing the unit for repair. The project remains focused on completing structural work while the vessel is on the hard, despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the marina's operational status and launch schedule.
