Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

The Bénéteau Océanis 440 *Corail* undergoes a major rigging and refrigeration refit at FKG in Saint-Martin. Technicians identify critical structural risks, noting that the mast was under excessive tension on the lower shrouds and risked failure. The yard replaces the forestay and installs a new furler, while also re-tensioning the standing rigging and servicing the staysail furler. The owner opts to retain the running backstays for added mast support during upwind sailing. Additionally, the crew completes a new refrigeration installation, replacing the cooling unit and associated copper piping. During the refit, the owner performs cosmetic maintenance, sanding and varnishing interior woodwork with Nuance marine varnish. Following the yard work, the vessel navigates the shallow, wind-swept channels of Simpson Bay Lagoon to reach a fuel dock, managing tight maneuvers in 25-to-30-knot gusts. The project concludes with the successful installation of the new cooling system and a fully tuned rig. Proper tensioning and regular maintenance of standing rigging are essential to prevent catastrophic mast failure.
