Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the 40-year-old sailboat Catalpa performs extensive deck and safety upgrades while in a boatyard in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. To address deck rot and surface damage, the crew prepares to apply KiwiGrip non-skid coating after filling old screw holes and repairing fiberglass crazing with epoxy.0:47 They also investigate a leak beneath a deck block in a cabin ceiling, removing interior panels to access and reseal the hardware.9:19 To improve safety, the crew replaces corroded, plastic-coated lifelines with new stainless steel wire from Hemmer Marine.5:21 Because the original stanchion bases showed severe pitting and corrosion, the crew cuts off the bottom inch of each stanchion to reach sound metal before polishing and reinstalling them.8:53 The crew also receives new standing rigging from Schaefer Marine and running rigging from Precision Sails, though installation remains pending until new chain plates arrive.15:54 Removing corroded stanchion bases and replacing degraded lifelines restores structural integrity to the vessel's safety perimeter.
