O que este vídeo aborda

Avanti, a circumnavigating sailing yacht crewed by Gerard and Jacqueline, arrives at Richards Bay Yacht Club after nearly three years abroad and begins refit work before tackling the South African coast to complete the circumnavigation.Watch First priority is reinstating a lapsed South African Certificate of Fitness — required annually and needed to restore insurance coverage in local waters — which involves an approved inspector working through a checklist.0:33 Richards Bay Yacht Club draws praise as the cheapest slip the crew has encountered, with three bars, a chandlery stocked for haul-outs, laundry facilities, a campsite, a pool, Monday bring-and-braai nights, and Sunday pizzas.2:05 Resident monkeys require keeping the boat closed whenever the crew goes ashore.1:58 The haul-out at Richards Bay uses a travel lift that enters the water combined with manual block and tackles, a slower process than the Panama haul-out — two and a half hours to get Avanti onto the hard, with a tractor winch needed to pull her to shore.9:17 Antifouling, saildrive servicing, and rudder and keel inspection are the planned work.8:23 Avanti will remain on the hard until summer for better weather conditions to round the tip of Africa back to her home port.8:02
