Barry Perrins, having completed a single-handed circumnavigation, is currently based at King Point Marina in Plymouth, UK, to begin a comprehensive refit of his boat, *Shadi*.▶ 0:31 The vessel requires significant hull maintenance, including the removal of deep rust stains and stubborn rubber marks left by a fender tire used during a rough stop in Horta, Azores.▶ 18:16 Perrins successfully removes rust using diluted phosphoric acid, while finding that toothpaste with extra whitening agents effectively cleans the remaining tire scuffs from the hull.▶ 18:12 Beyond maintenance, Perrins is scouting local boatyards, including Yacht Havens, to arrange a haul-out for further repairs.▶ 12:57 He also visits the Southampton Boat Show to meet with representatives from Hydrovane regarding a rebuild of his wind-powered self-steering system and encounters notable figures including Sir Robin Knox Johnson.▶ 8:39 Perrins notes the difficulty of sourcing hardware supplies in central Plymouth and plans to secure transportation to reach out-of-town chandleries.▶ 19:24 He intends to establish a new life in the area while prioritizing the restoration of his boat.▶ 2:59
