Chris repairs a damaged section of the mast track on his boat to ensure the mainsail functions correctly before a solo transatlantic voyage.▶ 0:37 Because the original track is a unique, discontinued part, he uses a custom-machined acetal replica as a jig to measure and cut a replacement piece from a salvaged aluminum section.▶ 0:58 He plans to secure the new track segment using JB Weld to fill gaps and provide a smooth surface for the sail cars, which do not contact the track at that specific point.▶ 2:36 Beyond the repair, the host emphasizes the importance of planning departures around favorable weather and tidal windows to avoid dangerous docking maneuvers.▶ 4:31 He notes that the fuel dock in Sherbrooke is now operational 24/7, allowing for a departure at 3 a.m. during high tide when winds are typically calm.▶ 8:37 By timing the fueling and sail preparation to these conditions, he avoids the risk of being pushed onto the dock by 15-knot gusts.▶ 5:35
