Crew secures mast on trailer amid suburban yard

Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Atom delivers an Alberg 30 from Brunswick, Georgia, 350 miles to Lake Lanier near Atlanta, then hauls a Cape Dory 27 back to his shop for refit, using a Ford F-250 with a Class 5 hitch rated for 12,500 pounds and a 2 5/16-inch ball.1:25 The trailer uses telescoping box-channel hull supports with screw pads; pads are tightened only enough to prevent movement, not to bear hull weight, and duct tape on the threads prevents vibration-loosening on the road.3:25 Keel-to-aft-axle positioning targets 10% tongue weight: 28 inches for a Cape Dory 27, 30.5 inches for a Pearson Triton 28, and 34.5 inches for a Cape Dory 30 or Alberg 30.17:19 Fishtailing at highway speed signals insufficient tongue weight; the fix is moving heavy gear forward and re-lifting the boat.5:18 Tie-down straps are twisted several times to stop flogging at speed.0:37 The brake controller's manual override slider is used for gradual slowing to reduce wear on pads and rotors.7:19 Overdrive is disabled in hills to prevent transmission hunting.7:45 A travel lift cable failure during the Cape Dory 27 haul-out dropped the bow back to the water, missing the wind vane self-steering by one inch.12:04 Bottom paint is applied under hull supports two at a time, diagonally opposite, to maintain support throughout.1:49
