O que este vídeo aborda

Warren and Erica haul out their catamaran, Vala, in Hiva Oa for a two-month storage period. The boat arrives at the ramp with only one functioning engine due to fuel contamination that clogged multiple filters.2:04 To maneuver into the ramp, they enlist a friend in their dinghy to act as a secondary propulsion source.2:23 Unlike standard travel lifts that use straps on concrete pads, the Hiva Oa yard uses a trailer system that backs down a dirt ramp to lift the vessel.10:16 Preparations for the haul-out include removing the headsail, pickling the watermaker with cleaning and preserving agents, and cleaning the cushions to prevent mildew.3:59 The crew also treats the holding tanks with breakdown agents and vinegar to prevent calcification, clears out perishable food, and deploys bug bombs inside the cabin.20:19 Vala remains on the hard in a tight, grassy yard space while the owners travel home.15:39
