O que este vídeo aborda

The owner of an ETAC 38 prepares the vessel for a multi-month layup in Cape Verde before returning to France for seasonal employment. To secure the boat, the owner removes the speed and depth transducers, cleaning the sensors with a toothbrush and applying WD-40 to the housing.1:12 During the transducer removal, the owner notes that the internal flap valve functions poorly, allowing approximately 5–6 liters of water to enter the hull before the plug is reinserted.2:05 The owner secures the outboard motor inside the cabin, stows the sails and fenders, and lashes the deflated dinghy to the deck.4:25 Financial constraints necessitate this return to France to replenish funds for a planned trans-Atlantic passage to French Guiana in September or October.4:00 The transit involves flying from Cape Verde to Porto, connecting to a flight to Bordeaux, and completing the journey by train to La Rochelle.6:41 The owner intends to work in the construction sector and potentially upgrade sailing gear before returning to the boat.12:51
