O que este vídeo aborda

Sam Holmes sails his catamaran through a rough overnight anchorage near an unnamed rock, then pushes upwind in 24 knots apparent wind with a second reef in, covering a passage toward Tulaga and Langkawi in Malaysia.0:26 Two gear failures occur offshore: an electric winch repair that lasted roughly 500 miles before failing again, forcing manual operation, and a whisker bowsprit support pad eye that came loose.3:20 A sail locker portlight broke open at sea, flooding the locker with two inches of water and soaking the headsail; Holmes dries the sail by hoisting it at anchor after hosing it down at a marina dock.5:22 At Langkawi he beaches the boat on a falling tide to scrub the waterline by hand.8:13 Maintenance work at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club includes replacing the flooded sail locker portlight using a 3D-printed router template and acrylic sheet, drilling drains into leaking side portlight water-catchment troughs using a custom drill jig and thickened epoxy, grinding off slippery non-skid on the coach roof ramp, and removing deck studs that caused soft spots in the cabin.10:32 He also 3D-prints a prototype headboard separator to detach the sail from the top cars, estimating the part costs $2–3 in plastic versus roughly $500–$1,000 from commercial suppliers including Harken.12:11
