The crew of the sailboat Corail completes a mast-stepping operation at the Marina du Vieux-Port in Québec after failing to secure a slot at the local yacht club.1:33 The team maneuvers the boat into a tight slip in reverse to prepare for the crane lift.2:15 During the process, they install the genoa, staysail, and half of the lazy bag, while the captain manages the complex task of re-threading the mainsail cars and electrical wiring for the radar, mast light, and anemometer.14:26 The operation is complicated by heavy rain and cold October temperatures, which force the crew to work in wet conditions.2:36 A persistent failure of the diesel heater, linked to issues with the boat's AGM battery bank, leaves the interior at 6 degrees Celsius overnight.17:48 The captain notes that the current AGM setup provides insufficient usable capacity and expresses a preference for LiFePO4 lithium batteries.19:16 The crew departs the marina, passing a large cargo-sail vessel before exiting the lock.20:43 Proper tensioning of the mast straps with secondary cordage successfully prevented vibration during the transit to Québec.5:30
