O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of a 50-something-foot sailboat hauls out at Vista Mar Marina in Panama to prepare for a Pacific Ocean crossing.▶ 4:11 The three-day maintenance schedule includes scraping the hull, wet-sanding, applying two coats of Total Boat Spartan anti-fouling paint, and replacing the propeller.▶ 6:46 The crew previously applied a Total Boat Epoxy Primer barrier coat, which remains intact despite heavy growth from a long stay in El Salvador.▶ 8:20 During the haul-out, the owner sustains a deep arm laceration from a power sander, requiring stitches from a neighboring boat owner who is a doctor.▶ 10:33 The crew also replaces their existing anchor with a 125-pound Mantis Marine M1, noting that the anchor's assembly bolts serve only as locators rather than load-bearing components.▶ 17:20 The vessel is lifted using a cradle system rather than traditional slings, which the crew finds more stable and quieter for the hull.▶ 2:13
