O que este vídeo aborda
Applying three coats of antifouling paint to the wooden hull of the sailboat Yabá marks the final maintenance task before the vessel returns to the water.▶ 0:22 The crew initially attempted to apply the paint manually using rollers and brushes, a labor-intensive process requiring multiple people to reach areas obstructed by support wedges and the keel.▶ 6:00 To improve efficiency and coverage, they hired neighbors to apply the final two coats using an airless spray compressor, which provided a more even finish than manual rolling.▶ 11:34 The crew then manually touched up the waterline and areas around through-hull fittings and the transducer to ensure complete protection.▶ 10:04 After completing the painting, they removed the masking tape from the hull and grounding plates, a final step before the scheduled launch on the evening tide.▶ 17:30 The project concludes a month-long haul-out period in a Brazilian shipyard, with the owners aiming to maintain the hull integrity for three years by avoiding long-term anchorage in single locations.▶ 4:17
