What this video covers
Vernon and his crew haul out their boat, Schiehallion, at Medana Bay Marina in Indonesia to store the vessel while they return to Europe.0:12 The marina uses a submersible hydraulic trailer manufactured by Rudeberg, which is towed by a John Deere tractor.3:23 Because the boat has a deep draft, the marina owner, Peter, uses an extendable hydraulic tow bar to position the trailer under the hull without submerging the tractor.4:19 The crew performs the haul-out at night during a high tide of two meters to ensure sufficient clearance for the keel.5:32 The hydraulic system allows for width adjustments to accommodate the boat's narrow beam and uses adjustable pads to support the hull.3:27 After the initial lift, the crew cleans the hull, noting that the International Ultra II hard antifouling paint remains in excellent condition after three years in the water, with no signs of osmosis.10:04 The process concludes the following morning when the crew moves the boat to its long-term resting spot.8:10
