Cosa tratta questo video
A planned haul-out at Fort Pierce, Florida drives a comprehensive refit of Calypso, the crew's Lagoon catamaran, after roughly three years out of the water.▶ 3:39 The yard impresses them with a diver who checks strap placement before lifting — a precaution against lifting by the prop shafts.▶ 8:45 Work includes switching bottom paint from Vivid to a longer-lasting product, servicing both props with prop speed, replacing all four cutlass bearings, removing the bow and stern thrusters and patching those hull penetrations, and eliminating two unneeded through-hulls.▶ 3:04 Topside, a large stainless steel arch goes in aft to carry a new 3,500-watt solar array, and a lightning-damaged VHF antenna and anchor light get replaced.▶ 2:55 Below, Jeremiah clears a bulkhead and TV to mount the new solar charge controllers and run wiring.▶ 0:14 Brittany replaces worn carpets throughout — new marine-grade, stain-resistant carpet sourced through a recommendation from Dave on Ohana, plus Amazon side carpets — and audits provisioning for expired dry goods.▶ 1:16 The crew also quietly tours a Privilege catamaran at the same yard, weighing whether to switch boats despite having just invested heavily in Calypso; no decision is announced.▶ 7:25
