What this video covers
The crew of the 66-foot yacht NV prepares to haul out for a saildrive replacement in a remote Borneo boatyard.0:15 The vessel’s 4.2-meter draft requires precise logistics, including digging a pit in the yard to accommodate the keel and ensure the boat sits safely on structural bulkheads.0:40 To reduce weight and clear space for internal repairs, the crew removes approximately 1,000 kilograms of sails, ropes, and gear, transporting the items to off-site storage.7:06 Before the lift, the crew measures water depths at the travel lift entrance and basin at low tide to confirm clearance, identifying a narrow margin for error depending on tidal height and positioning.11:07 The haul-out schedule remains subject to weather delays and yard coordination, requiring the crew to verify the digger’s availability and the structural support points for the boat’s cradle.23:09
