Cosa tratta questo video

Chris and Karmen visit Vanishing Point, their Beneteau 57, at Baja Naval in Ensenada, Mexico, where the yard has completed all finishing primer and sprayed three coats of final topside paint in a single day.12:37 The paint tent uses an airlock system to keep dust off fresh coats, and the prep work — including laser-leveled boot stripe masking and tack cloth — impresses Chris as the best he has seen at any yard.7:51 Project manager Damien provides daily photo and video updates throughout the refit.9:16 Two problems surface during the visit: a rudder bushing with a large chunk missing needs replacement, but Baja Naval's travel lift cannot raise the boat high enough to pull the rudder fully, so the repair is deferred to a yard with a crane back home, where the rudder stock will also be inspected.8:29 Separately, the bobstay eye bolt on the custom bow pulpit is loose with no adequate backing arrangement, causing fiberglass chipping; a welder fabricates a new plate to bolt to the hull on both sides and secure the fitting.3:25 Boot stripe painting and bottom paint remain for the following week.12:44 Coral Marina in Ensenada, which has a Tesla Supercharger, serves as overnight accommodation while the boat is inaccessible.6:20
