Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Both tow eyes on the dinghy for Epiphany ripped out during a beach landing, and the forward D-ring failed a second time while at anchor, leaving the dinghy with no reliable attachment point.Watch Gordon threaded new tow lines through the existing bolt rope along the dinghy's side rails, running each line from the bow grommet attachment points down to eye bolts bolted through the transom near the motor — the same fittings used for the dinghy davits.1:09 He secured each line to its eye bolt with a bowline, used a figure-eight follow-through at the bow end, and exited the bolt rope one knot back from the original grommet to spread the load.1:46 The port-side line ran short, so he extended it with a square knot backed by two half-hitches.2:08 After adjusting all knots, both lines load equally, restoring two independent attachment points.2:43 A six-foot tail left on each line allows side-tying to a buddy boat.2:21 Threading a tow bridle through the bolt rope and terminating at transom eye bolts distributes load more broadly than a single grommet and survives the stress of beach landings.
