Cosa tratta questo video
A Wharram Pahi 42 named Mahi anchors in the Bay of Coruña alongside Spirit of Gaia, the 63-foot Wharram flagship, whose co-designer Hanneke Cabone boards Mahi to inspect the refit work.15:01 Hanneke flags several concerns: exposed open sides on the bridgedeck needing canvas or fold-down hoop enclosure, a yellow doghouse with no securing straps for offshore conditions, spongy and rotten deck sections on the hull, and butt-jointed deck repairs that lack glass tape.21:55 She approves the half-deck layout and confirms the dry-rot treatment appears to have held.22:24 The owner also deals with a dinghy lost overnight when its painter snapped — friends locate it 50 metres from their marina pontoon and sell it back for €200, the second time the same people have sourced him a dinghy.0:35 Solo marina entry single-handed in the Wharram catamaran is covered in detail: two engines, autopilot, four fenders, and a centre spring line to walk the boat into the berth.9:41 The Guardia Civil and customs both board separately to check registration, radio licence, insurance, and passport.1:55 A visa issue requires a trip back to France, and the owner notes he has until end of May in the marina.3:41 Hanneke's core advice: prioritise bridgedeck shelter and deck integrity before any Atlantic crossing attempt.21:35
