Ce que couvre cette vidéo
After a long haul-out and refit, the owners of the wooden boat Red Aviva relaunch in Penasco, Mexico, and manage the initial swelling process.2:24 The hull remains tight, with no leaks through the planking, though the stuffing box requires monitoring as it settles.8:20 During the first 50 hours in the water, the bilge pump cycles infrequently, confirming the hull is taking up as expected.10:01 To avoid potential grounding during low tides and to escape a damaged dock finger, the crew moves the vessel to a deeper, sturdier slip within the marina.15:20 The transition involves navigating near a busy fishing pier and securing the boat with extra lines to accommodate significant tidal fluctuations.15:43 With the boat safely moored, the crew shifts focus to light maintenance, including fairing the pilot house and installing a forgotten bow plate zinc.23:54 Experience with previous wooden vessels allows the owners to manage the launch without the need for emergency pumping or additional equipment.10:59
