Cosa tratta questo video

Pat and Frankie continue structural repairs on their Grand Soleil sailboat at a boatyard in the Canary Islands. To inspect for potential keel damage, they perform a dye penetrant test on the keel welds, which reveals no cracks.1:05 However, internal inspections of the hull stringers show visible cracks, necessitating potential reinforcement of the structural members.9:35 The pair empties the saloon, kitchen, and storage areas, packing gear into boxes to protect belongings from dust during the upcoming grinding and lamination work.3:11 They struggle to obtain technical laminating plans or structural documentation from the shipyard, and their insurance provider has denied a request to fly in an independent surveyor from Italy.5:11 The owners plan to document all repairs thoroughly to ensure the boat is structurally sound for future use and potential resale.11:44 They conclude that removing all interior components is impractical, so they are sealing off cabins to contain the workspace.12:30
