Cosa tratta questo video

A couple prepares a 15-year-old Beneteau Oceanis 430 catamaran for launch after it sat in a New Bern, North Carolina, boatyard for three years.0:51 The owner spends two days pressure washing the decks, coach roof, and cockpit to remove heavy mold and debris.4:27 Engine recommissioning proves problematic, as mechanics left fuel lines disconnected, resulting in a diesel spill in the engine bay and a missing starter motor.11:51 The owner utilizes "earmuffs" to flush and test the sail drive engines while the boat remains on the hard, avoiding the need to disconnect through-hull intakes.8:22 A check of the windlass reveals the chain is not seized, though the unit requires further troubleshooting.10:39 The crew plans a 40-mile shakedown motor to a new marina following the splash.8:54 The project coincides with the couple expecting their first child, adding urgency to the refit timeline.15:42
