Gone with the Wynns · video

Cosa tratta questo video

The owners of a monohull vessel in Lemmer, Netherlands, complete a major refit involving the installation of a gyro stabilizer, which required removing a heavy, space-consuming hydraulic bottom-cleaning system that had previously compromised the deck's watertight integrity.20:13 The gyro installation necessitated an additional three-phase inverter and required rebalancing the vessel by removing lead ballast from the starboard side to compensate for the new weight.24:26 The crew also applies PropSpeed to the propellers and FoulFree to the sonar, thrusters, and speed transducer to reduce fouling and improve fuel efficiency.1:26 Additional maintenance includes replacing stern thruster batteries, engine and generator start batteries, and installing a new swivel-and-slide plate for the helm chair.9:03 The crew fabricates custom anode backing plates from a neoprene wetsuit after failing to source suitable materials at local chandleries.11:33 Following the yard period, the vessel undergoes a splash-down in preparation for sea trials to test the gyro's performance in heavy chop.31:27
