What this video covers
The crew of the catamaran Zatara hauled out at The Boat Works in Brisbane, Australia, to inspect the condition of their antifouling paint after 12 months of service.0:53 While the paint successfully prevented most soft growth, the crew discovered localized barnacle clusters and peeling patches, which they attributed to improper application and over-dilution during the initial painting process.17:08 During the haul-out, the crew also removed a loose rope cutter that had damaged the propeller shaft.7:03
To maintain mobility while living at anchor, the crew utilizes various land-based transportation, including electric scooters, Onewheels, and skateboards.10:13 They emphasize the importance of owning a dinghy large enough to transport these items without water damage.16:44 For long-term stays in a single port, the crew recommends purchasing an inexpensive used vehicle rather than relying on rental cars or public buses.11:06 The crew plans to depart for Sydney and eventually attempt a passage to Perth, navigating the southern coast of Australia.18:05
