Cosa tratta questo video
The Yacht Rigger in Saint Petersburg, Florida, utilizes inflatable lift bags to perform underwater hull maintenance, including transducer installation, prop replacements, and cutlass bearing service, without hauling vessels.3:44 This method allows technicians to partially lift catamarans and monohulls in the water, saving owners the time and expense of a traditional haul-out.3:40 Current projects at the yard include a full electrical refit on an Island Packet 349—incorporating lithium batteries, an inverter, and a high-output alternator—and a re-rigging of a Morgan, which involves removing a behind-the-mast furler in favor of a traditional slab-reefing system with a Tides Marine track.5:17 A 2021 Lagoon 42 is undergoing a 3,000-watt inverter installation, a conversion of all three heads to freshwater flush, and the integration of a 115-volt Rainman watermaker.11:57 Technicians are also experimenting with lift bag placement to install transducers mid-ship on the Lagoon 42.12:57 The yard also recently completed an electronics package on a small powerboat, featuring a solar panel, Vesper AIS, and a Bilge B Dry system.6:48
