O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of the Millennial Falcon hauled their boat out at Carriacou Marine in the Southern Windward Islands to prepare for Tropical Storm Gonzalo.1:59 After the storm downgraded to 35 knots, the crew utilized the haul-out period to perform several maintenance projects.3:05 They replaced a rattling cutlass bearing and applied a new coat of anti-fouling paint to the hull after observing significant growth from four months of stationary anchoring.5:16 To improve propeller efficiency, they applied a silicone-based coating called PropGlide, sharing a single container among three boats to reduce costs.10:27 Additionally, the crew replaced an obsolete 1980s-era traveler track with a salvaged unit from a neighboring vessel.7:35 Because the new track required a specific deck curvature, Adam fabricated a custom mounting base from a three-inch mahogany board using hand tools and a radial saw.8:22 The project required extensive manual shaping to match the deck profile before final varnishing.14:36
