What this video covers

Alex and Daniela prepare their boat, Wayra, for a two-year haul-out at a boatyard. To protect the interior from sun and moisture, they seal all windows and hatches with aluminum tape and ensure mattresses are propped up to prevent mold.0:30 The crew removes the sails and dismounts the wind vane from the mast to prevent water ingress.1:33 Before the lift, they empty the freshwater tank and minimize fuel levels to reduce the vessel's weight.5:49 The boatyard uses a crane with four slings attached to the deck-mounted chainplates to hoist the vessel, while a tractor moves the trailer to the storage site.5:34 The owners leave a key with yard staff for periodic inspections and report that the Silic One antifouling performed well during their previous season.7:54 Reflecting on their recent passage, they note the Atlantic leg from Portugal to Santipetri provided the most consistent sailing, whereas Mediterranean winds proved unstable and required frequent sail changes.2:09
