What this video covers
The crew of the Tayana 48, *Nandji - Frothlyfe*, prepares for a haul-out in Thailand to ready the vessel for an Indian Ocean crossing. Major maintenance tasks include replacing 15-year-old standing rigging, which requires unstepping the mast to inspect the keel-stepped base and chainplates.0:51 The crew also plans to repaint the bottom, service the furlers, re-cork the teak deck, and repair a damaged spinnaker pole track.1:13 Before entering the marina, the crew strips the mast of sails, lazy jacks, and running rigging while anchored in a shallow bay.3:39 Navigating the marina entrance requires a local pilot due to a shallow sandbank and limited depth, with the crew monitoring the depth sounder closely on a rising tide.2:25 The project aims to address long-standing water leaks around the mast boot and restore the vessel's blue-water capability.9:34
