What this video covers
The crew of the catamaran *Learning By Doing* hauls the vessel out for anti-fouling at Helena Marina in Serong, Papua, Indonesia.0:15 The haul-out process utilizes a non-hydraulic, homemade trailer system where the boat is positioned over the submerged trailer at high tide and pulled into place using ropes.1:04 The crew navigates a shallow, winding delta to reach the marina, relying on local guidance to avoid shoaling in the murky, tide-dependent channels.2:45 Because the boatyard lacks wind and experiences extreme heat, the crew rents a hotel with a pool to provide a cool environment for the family during the multi-day maintenance period.9:14 The work plan includes a pressure wash followed by sanding and two coats of anti-fouling paint, with a target of four days out of the water.21:56 The owner notes the importance of positioning the trailer blocks carefully to avoid crushing the non-structural wave breakers located under the hull.12:53
