Cosa tratta questo video

Sil and Gwen take delivery of a Voyage Yachts 440 catamaran in Cabo Verde, Africa, and document the first stage of a full refit before sailing it to the Netherlands. The previous owners stripped the boat nearly bare — no tools, almost no furniture — forcing the crew to rebuild from scratch while working long days on a tight timeline. Gwen ascends the mast in a climbing harness, hoisted on a winch, to remove and clean a seized Raymarine wind vane/anemometer whose bearing had locked up with dirt.▶ 5:59 Back on deck, the crew grinds out osmotic blisters and hull damage from a dinghy because the yard's single haulout spot was already reserved, then reseals the repaired areas to prevent water ingress.▶ 11:45 Two Harken winches are mounted on the side decks.▶ 27:13 Window seals throughout the boat are stripped and reseated with Sika sealant.▶ 18:26 A 1,200-watt, 15-liter hot-water heater is installed.▶ 20:38 Interior headroom is increased roughly 10 centimeters by lowering the cabin sole.▶ 35:10 A cleat is relocated to a reinforced backing plate.▶ 36:27 Rivet holes in the mast are sealed with Sika before re-riveting to prevent corrosion.▶ 28:17 A forestay that fell overboard during removal is recovered by grappling hook in 2.5 meters of water.▶ 23:22 The crew also re-routes mainsail reefing lines and re-upholsters the cabin headliner for the first time, improvising without proper upholstery tools.▶ 19:53 Receiving a used boat stripped of gear means budgeting for unexpected equipment and tool purchases before any passage work can begin.
