O que este vídeo aborda
Chris prepares the Grand Mistral for a solo transatlantic crossing, completing final maintenance tasks in Sherbrooke five days before departure.▶ 0:00 He is replacing a lost custom mast track gate with a carbon-fiber-reinforced 3D-printed part, as a replacement aluminum extrusion is cost-prohibitive.▶ 1:18 The refit includes installing a new fuel manifold, a transfer pump, and cockpit storage bags, while addressing a gearbox oil leak and a freshwater system leak that previously fouled the bilge.▶ 4:58 Due to cold temperatures, he deferred painting the cockpit and hull repairs until warmer conditions during the crossing.▶ 2:58 The vessel requires a crew of 12 for the upcoming Newport Bermuda Race, which begins June 16, and registration is currently underway.▶ 8:11 Chris continues to document the project through live streams, focusing on engine bay organization and rig tensioning.▶ 7:11
