Aboard *Christian Williams*, a 1984 Ericson 381 named *Thelonious* undergoes a four-year maintenance cycle in Southern California, including bottom paint renewal, barrier coat inspection, and replacement of the propeller shaft and cutlass bearing.1:09 The boat features four cockpit drains, two propane locker drains, and a bow thruster.3:41 The dripless shaft seal requires disconnection from the transmission coupling for servicing.2:18 Williams adjusts the lazy jacks on the mast to improve sail handling and demonstrates tacking the vessel through 140 degrees using 14 wheel pilot increments in light winds and southerly swells.6:57 A diver performs monthly hand-scrubbing to maintain the hull between four-year haul-outs.2:02 Williams, at 82, continues to sail his Ericson 381 despite a back injury, contrasting its demands with a Laser dinghy's low boom.0:07
