Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The 1988 sailboat *Balanço* undergoes an extensive hull and keel restoration at Yacht Club Aratu in Bahia, Brazil, while the crew resides on a borrowed WandaStat 36 named *Dóris*.0:10 Persistent rain and high humidity frequently stall exterior work, forcing the team to prioritize interior tasks like varnishing furniture and organizing the cabin.2:17 To address structural issues at the keel-to-hull joint, the crew applies monomer to the exposed fiberglass to activate the old material before sealing the area with epoxy resin.22:20 They also tighten the keel bolts using a 38mm socket, sourced after precise measurements with a caliper.23:44 Additional repairs include replacing an aging propeller and installing a new sonar transducer, a task complicated by the need to maintain a watertight seal while the boat is in the water.18:46 The restoration team focuses on sanding the hull to achieve a smooth finish for painting, despite the logistical challenges of working in a wet climate.29:01 The project highlights the necessity of patience and professional assistance when managing complex marine repairs on an aging vessel.
