Cosa tratta questo video
The 40-foot sailboat Y2K enters Vunda Marina in Fiji to address mechanical failures and structural damage after a period of coastal cruising.3:50 The crew identifies a delaminated aft bulkhead behind the generator, which they repair by grinding away old adhesive and applying four layers of fiberglass and epoxy resin with the assistance of local contractors from Yacht Help.20:36 Simultaneously, the Paguro generator fails to produce electricity despite the thermal system remaining functional.24:57 Because the generator housing requires removal from the boat for full access to the electrical components, the crew removes the solar panels to hoist the unit out of the lazarette for professional servicing and maintenance.25:44 The crew also notes that their anchor chain, purchased in 2017, requires re-galvanizing due to heavy rust.7:22 They report that Vunda Marina charges 2 Fijian dollars per foot and features fixed docks that require careful management during tidal changes.12:59 The vessel remains in the marina for three days to complete repairs and resupply before resuming travel through the islands.
