Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the catamaran *Learning By Doing* replaces their previous tender with a Highfield Ultralight 310, selecting the model to balance weight, planing performance, and davit capacity.9:37 The 3.1-meter aluminum-hull dinghy weighs less than the manufacturer’s "Classic" series, allowing the crew to maintain their existing 10-horsepower outboard while achieving a planing speed.9:42 During installation at Scarborough Marina, the crew adjusts the lifting wire attachment points to ensure the dinghy clears the davits and avoids chafing against the Hypalon tubes.3:21 They plan to install adhesive foam padding on the davit arms to prevent abrasion during transit.7:41 A test run confirms the dinghy’s stability and ability to plane with gear, providing a significant upgrade over their previous displacement-hull tender for exploring reefs and rivers.13:54 The vessel is secured to the davits using Dyneema straps and cross-ties to prevent movement while underway.7:03
