Refitting a sailboat in Carriacou requires improvising repairs due to limited access to hardware stores and specialized tools.5:25 The crew replaces a through-hull fitting by drilling out the old valve and clearing a three-centimeter-thick laminate layer to reach the bronze backing plate.4:58 They install a new seacock, carefully orienting the ball valve to accommodate the cramped space behind the toilet.9:42 To repair the skeg, the crew uses a step drill bit to enlarge the hole for a new bushing, manually aligning the component with the rudder shoe.7:33 They laminate the skeg using 450g/m² biaxial glass cloth, constructing a temporary shelter to protect the work from frequent tropical squalls.12:09 When replacing the rudder, the crew shifts the position of the middle bearing to ensure it rides on an unworn section of the shaft, mitigating play caused by previous wear.15:30 The project concludes with the preparation of the rudder and skeg for reinstallation with assistance from fellow cruisers.17:23
