Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the sailboat *Escapade* completes final maintenance tasks in a boatyard before relaunching for a Pacific crossing. They apply three coats of Total Boat Spartan multi-season ablative anti-fouling paint to the hull, using a dedicated paint kit to ensure proper application.▶ 0:38 The project includes applying an epoxy barrier coat to the keel and rudder, replacing the cutlass bearing and prop shaft seal, and testing Total Boat prop anti-fouling spray on the running gear.▶ 6:11 The crew installs a new Rocna stainless steel swivel between their anchor and chain to reduce twist and improve alignment on the bow roller.▶ 7:49 Additionally, they replace a torn headsail with a new radial-cut sail from Southeast Asia Sails, chosen for its durability and load-bearing shape.▶ 12:42 The cockpit table receives seven layers of fresh varnish, and the crew prepares to burp the shaft seal immediately after the boat returns to the water.▶ 11:15
