Cosa tratta questo video
The owners of the sailboat CORAIL have abandoned their plan to winter in Quebec, Canada, due to excessive delays in processing their work permit applications.1:24 Initially quoted a 30-day processing time, the wait grew to 134 business days, forcing the crew to relocate to Martinique to preserve their remaining budget.1:50 Before departing, they winterized the vessel at Marina Gosselin, covering the deck with a large tarp and filling the diesel tank.4:31 The boat remains in Canada, where the owners must return by June to move it to avoid potential import taxes of 15% on its $125,000 CAD appraised value.19:22 Future maintenance requirements for the vessel include replacing four M20 turnbuckles and one M12 turnbuckle, as well as commissioning a new lazy bag.29:15 The crew intends to return to Canada in the spring to relocate the boat, though their long-term plans remain flexible due to unpredictable administrative hurdles and evolving immigration policies.
