Cosa tratta questo video
A 52-foot Island Spirit 525 catamaran undergoes final assembly at a marina after arriving by truck.▶ 0:00 Technicians use a 75-metric-ton travel lift to move the vessel from its transport cradle onto blocks for keel installation.▶ 2:06 The process requires precise positioning, as the boat’s 26.5-foot beam leaves only about two feet of total clearance within the travel lift’s frame.▶ 2:52 Workers wrap the lift straps in plastic to protect the vessel's ablative bottom paint from transfer.▶ 4:36 The assembly sequence includes gluing the keels, installing the rudders, and mounting the bimini hardtop and mast.▶ 0:59 The boat’s folding Gori propellers are demonstrated, noting that they require higher RPM in reverse to overcome the tendency of the blades to fold under water pressure.▶ 8:18 Power tools used during the assembly are run directly from the yacht's house battery bank.▶ 9:11 Additionally, the owner lists a 1989 Ta Chaio Shipbuilding Co.▶ 9:46 (TAIWAN) Ct-56 for sale in Annapolis, Maryland, for $150,000.▶ 9:46
