What this video covers
The owners of Nahoa M, a catamaran, relaunch their vessel after a multi-week boatyard stay.1:27 The yard uses a Rudeberg hydraulic trailer to move the 20-plus-ton boat, a process requiring precise alignment of the vessel’s bulkheads and crossbeams with the trailer’s support points.2:12 During the launch, the crew forgets to open the through-hulls for the sail drive raw water intakes, causing the engines to run dry briefly before the error is corrected.4:56 Once in the water, the owners address several maintenance tasks, including rebuilding an electric macerator toilet by replacing a seized bearing and correcting the motor's polarity.11:26 They also apply Loctite to sail shackles to prevent loosening at sea and prepare the Code Zero furler for bearing replacement.15:15 The crew notes that Starlink has transformed their ability to manage remote work and business operations while cruising.13:30 After two weeks of staging and repairs, the family departs the marina to resume their voyage.20:48
