O que este vídeo aborda

After 40 days on the hard in Malaysia during a lockdown, the crew of Catalpa prepares the vessel for relaunch by applying two coats of anti-fouling paint.0:14 The process involves sanding the primer, scrubbing the hull, and masking the waterline.0:39 Extra paint is applied to high-wear areas, specifically the waterline, rudder, and propeller housing.5:30 A glove worn over the hand serves as a makeshift guard to prevent paint drips.5:58 Once the paint dries, the travel lift moves the boat to the water, pausing briefly to allow for the application of anti-fouling to the spots previously covered by support stands.10:09 Upon relaunch, the crew systematically inspects all through-hulls, seacocks, and valves for leaks, including the engine and toilet systems.11:19 The vessel is then motored to a new berth for docking.17:11
