Cosa tratta questo video
James returns to Triteia in Langkawi, Malaysia after six weeks in the United States, with a haulout scheduled one week out at Rebak Marina.0:27 The last lithium battery failed before he left — likely a BMS failure traced to a near-lightning strike in Belitung, Indonesia — and he ran on an emergency lead-acid battery wired to solar while away.1:38 He brought back a diesel lift pump and crush washers to address chronic hard-starting and fuel-line air leaks, a replacement vane block for the Hydrovane (the previous one shattered on the Borneo-to-Belitung passage), a GPS puck antenna for AIS backup, paper charts for the entire Indian Ocean, and flags for every port through Brazil sourced from yachtflags.com.2:33 A Pelagic autopilot is being sent as a sponsorship to replace a Raymarine tiller pilot.13:21 The haulout plan covers bottom paint (hard antifouling over ablative), gel coat and barrier coat repair on a reef strike, topside and deck repainting in dark blue, new solar wiring, exhaust port relocation with a seacock, mast halyard winch repair, and a transom outboard bracket bought locally for $35.10:22 Below decks, Dakota Lithium is supplying two 320 Ah batteries, upgrading the bank from 400 to 640 Ah; James also plans a new galley countertop, built-in stowage cabinet, 240-volt shore power inlet, inverter, fresh and salt water pump replacements, and new cushions.16:19
