Haul-out time is always a bit stressful as so much can go wrong. Schiehallion draws 2m so that meant hauling out at 8pm as the day time tides were all too small. The crew at Medana Bay in Lombok did a great job, see for your self!
Enjoi!

g'day wonderful people and welcome back

to another episode of sailing learning

by doing

last week we made the pretty tough

decision to park the boat

and head back to europe for a few months

to earn some money

so this week's video is all about the

haul out we pull out the boat in madana

bay marina

and set her up to live

[Music]

hello everybody uh we just arrived in

madonna bay uh the marina we're gonna

hold out the boat

so the last night was the last on the

boat for the season

i'm pretty sad about that um

vanessa is actually talking with

the owner of the marina because we have

to hold out the boat

during the evening probably it's gonna

be all dark

around 10 11 i think is the high tide

so yeah the bed gonna be

just up there and we're gonna be on land

for the rest of uh of our days in

indonesia before

living in europe

all right we're at the at the harbour

now i'm in madonna bay

tied up at the jetty little kids here

flying

kites and now we're going up to our room

we've rented a room here for a week or

so while we're working

and we're going to haul out tonight

these guys here have never done a

nighttime haul

out so they've rigged a couple of lights

but yeah it's going to be a first time

and

fingers crossed it's always a stressful

situation hauling out the boat but

in an unknown situation at dark and i

don't know these guys and they don't

have a travel lift they have a trailer

that you put the boat on

but um seems okay so we're gonna see

i'll show you all how it goes

and sleeping in a bed was not moving

anymore

air conditioning values

yeah nothing super fancy but um

definitely a lot more comfortable than

trying to stay on the boat when the

boat's out of the water and

you know it's just hot and uh you can't

jump off the back and go in the water

and everything

and dusty because we're working and

sanding and everything so this is

it's gonna be cool and it's really just

30 40 meters

walk and we're at the boat we can wake

up have some breakfast start working so

it's pretty cool

uh we're here on the beach at madonna

bay shahelian there tied up to the dock

ready to go tonight

this is the trailer that's going to get

put on

john deere tractor and uh

this is peter the guy in charge and the

owner here well welcome to madonna bay

marina

vernon good to have you and chihalian

here so what we have here

is a rudeberg what is called a

submersible hydraulic trailer and

rudberg have been the business of making

them for many many years

we're the first one in indonesia now the

great flip

point of its flexibility is we can

either handle

catamarans we can also handle monohulls

we can also handle trimarans

all depending on the configuration when

i say the configuration

this this is the width adjustment

sheehan's a pretty narrow boat

so we have her on minimum setting right

now but she can go out

another 66 another meter 20 on what we

have

at the moment so we've already set her

up for your boat at this width

now this evening we're going to go down

to the water line

with the tractor but i don't want to put

too much of the tractor in the water so

you probably have about this much

of the wheels in the in the water and

then this is an extendable stick

so this this tow bar will extend

for about three meters out underneath

your boat

and not only that but because it's

working on hydraulics

it's it's much smoother to control than

driving the tractor

and the same when we do the haul out we

will start your haul out

using the hydraulics and once they're

pulled up short on this phone then he'll

then he will drive

but up to that stage it's very smooth

and so as we see you rise up for the

water

we can be checking the rubbers and the

confident that your boat is

nice and stable when it comes up then

she'll go underneath you and then these

pistons will rise

we've got the extensions on because

you're a fairly deep deep draft boat

so this gives us quite a lot of

flexibility we're underneath you and

then these will

come up these will take the form of your

hull

so you get them up and you watch using

these only

will lift you about five centimeters out

of the water and my men will be

underneath

it's going to be a night job so they're

going to have torches just to check

check the seating

of the rubbers and then we go ahead lift

the frame now the frame can go up

quite a long way so that's the this

whole thing this whole thing

on these hydraulics so i'll be waiting

this evening

until the tide is up to the 2 meter mark

and when it's there you should have a

nice clearance and we'll bring you in

we're showing you this all now because

yeah it's going to be dark tonight we're

lifting at 8 o'clock you said about that

i think yeah

we'll get ready at eight o'clock and

just keep an eye on the levels there

but we weren't probably about to show

you too much at night um marie will be

filming but uh yeah it's gonna be pretty

dark

the boat will stay the whole night in

the trailer and tomorrow it'll get put

on the

in its resting spot put it that way and

then yeah we can show you how it works

then anyway

thanks peter

okay so those sticks there the the black

tape

means it's two meters of water where the

trailer is going to be

and my boat needs two meters so we're

just under that now

but they're putting the trailer in the

water and we'll

put the boat on there and give it a try

[Music]

so we're looking good we had enough

water the keel didn't scrape the bottom

and now he's got the weight of it on the

pads and it's just a matter of

positioning the boat on the pad so that

the weight is distributed evenly

uh but it's looking good

[Music]

[Music]

okay well that went super fast and super

easy

and uh yeah no stress at all

it's always a bit stressful lifting a

boat out but this has actually been my

less stressful time

this was really good they all knew what

they were doing it was all pretty calm

this system with the trailer works

really good and uh yeah

it's really good stoked so the next

morning before we'd even got out of bed

and had breakfast

the boys had been out there for an hour

scrubbing the bottom

and yeah started the tractor up and was

lifted shahadelian up

off the ground and we're heading up to

the back to the resting spot

[Music]

is

[Applause]

is

[Music]

baby

yes

okay

she's nearly done it's really good now

everything went really good moving the

boat back here

and yeah it looks good we gave it a bit

of a clean down it's not completely

sanded or anything yet but zero osmosis

bubbles

just a few shells to scratch off but the

hull is looking perfect after three

years in the water

this international ultra two hard

racing andy fell great i mean i've

scraped it every

couple months but um wow it's still

looking pretty fresh i could nearly just

leave it but no awesome

hey

[Music]

stop moving

[Music]

because you make me

for you

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you
