Catamaran tilts dangerously on trailer at night

Cosa tratta questo video

An Island SPIRIT 525 catamaran completes a 36-kilometer road transit from its factory to a marina in Thailand.0:02 The transport process involves loading the vessel onto a hydraulic lift trailer, which allows for height adjustments to clear overhead power lines and telephone wires.2:53 During the move, workers use non-conductive wooden poles to manually lift utility lines as the boat passes.9:35 The most restrictive section of the route occurs at the factory gate, where the 52-foot vessel clears surrounding poles and vegetation by only a few inches on each side.10:30 A police escort accompanies the transport, which proceeds at 10 to 15 miles per hour.10:04 Prior to departure, the factory staff performs a traditional Buddhist blessing for the vessel.0:14 The boat features electric motors, water-cooled batteries managed by a battery temperature monitoring system (BTMS), and dual life rafts.4:09 Following the road transit, the boat is scheduled for a travel lift transfer to a hard stand for mast installation and final assembly before its initial sea trial.7:39
