Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of an Outremer catamaran transits from Shatten Bay, Union Island, to Carriacou, Grenada, to prepare for a four-month haul-out period.12:50 During the passage, the vessel encounters 16 to 20 knots of wind, requiring a reefed sail plan.8:47 Upon arrival in Carriacou, the owners attempt to clear customs and immigration but face delays due to the office closing at 16:00 and a requirement to complete paper forms manually rather than using the online system.15:05
Maintenance issues arise when a failing windlass battery begins to overheat and emit a chemical odor.17:41 The crew replaces the 80 Ah battery with a 100 Ah unit sourced from a local ship chandler in Carriacou.19:27 Future boat improvements discussed include inspecting the bobstay chainplates for stress, potentially adding a Code Zero or larger overlapping headsail for better airflow, and reinstalling deck hardware for the gennaker.38:05 The crew confirms their haul-out slot at the local boatyard for the upcoming months.16:10 Prompt arrival at customs offices is essential to avoid manual paperwork delays when online systems are unavailable.
