The crew of Magic Carpet modifies their anchor locker to shift chain weight further aft and lower in the hull, aiming to improve sailing performance and safety.5:28 Initial tests using a foam-based chute and a pipe failed to guide galvanized chain effectively, as the material piled up rather than sliding into the new storage area.7:14 After consulting with Todd at Cape George Marine Works, the crew removed a section of the bulkhead that previously obstructed the chain's path and prepared to line the locker with slippery plastic to reduce friction.11:21 Subsequent testing confirmed that removing the bulkhead lip allowed the chain to flow into the locker as intended.15:58 Additionally, the crew replaced a stainless steel bobstay fitting with a custom bronze version from Cape George Marine Works to mitigate the risk of crevice corrosion during future ocean voyages.16:45 The installation involved enlarging the hull penetration with a Dremel tool and bonding the fitting with epoxy.17:07
