Hva denne videoen dekker

A 27-ft Grinde sloop transits 30 nautical miles from Marina del Rey to a boatyard in northern Lombok to haul out for a shaft seal replacement.10:05 The vessel suffers from a leaking stuffing box that admits significant water into the bilge during engine operation.0:07 To prepare for the haul-out, the owner tests the engine flange bolts, which were previously seized in French Polynesia, and finds they loosen easily due to prior greasing.1:17 The 14-hour passage requires careful timing of local currents, which reach speeds that significantly impact progress through narrow channels near Gili Air.9:49 During the transit, a mast-mounted winch plate corrodes and detaches, forcing the crew to leave the mainsail partially reefed.17:11 Upon arrival at the mooring field, the crew navigates around shoals and reefs marked by channel markers.18:42 The boatyard haul-out is scheduled to address the leaking stern tube and patch areas of the hull where bottom paint was removed by jack stands and slings.Watch
