What this video covers

Pablo Berrus performs antifouling maintenance on his sailboat as part of preparations for a circumnavigation.Watch The process involves cleaning the hull and applying a fresh coat of antifouling paint to protect the underwater surfaces from marine growth. This maintenance task serves as a critical step in readying the vessel for long-term offshore travel. Proper application of bottom paint prevents the accumulation of barnacles and algae, which can significantly reduce boat speed and increase fuel consumption during extended passages.
