O que este vídeo aborda
The owners of the George Buehler sailboat *Red Aviva* are preparing for a relaunch after an extensive refit in a boatyard.▶ 0:28 The project involves replacing fasteners below the waterline, specifically addressing electrolysis damage on the keel straps and hardware caused by a year of stationary mooring in a marina.▶ 11:53 The crew is sanding and priming the keel to mitigate wood drying and shrinkage, while simultaneously fiberglassing complex curves on the cabin roof.▶ 1:13 They are awaiting a shipment of new screws to complete the refastening process and expect the return of rudder and shaft hardware shortly.▶ 2:32 The team notes that while mild steel performs well underwater in low-oxygen environments, it requires consistent maintenance and proper zinc protection to prevent corrosion.▶ 14:50 The boat is expected to be ready for relaunch within two weeks, at which point remaining cosmetic work will be completed in the water.▶ 2:18
