Qué cubre este vídeo

Erik Aanderaa installed a Seldén RCB track slider system on his boat, Tessie, to reduce friction during reefing.1:17 The installation required removing the mast at Grasholmen Marina in Stavanger, Norway, and replacing the mast-top VHF antenna and 3-color lantern cables.2:52 Shortly after completing the work, Aanderaa attempted a six-hour solo transit to Haugesund while sleep-deprived.15:30 He fell asleep at the helm, and the autopilot steered the boat into rocks in the Buknafjorden.17:30 The impact pushed the keel upward, causing severe structural damage to the internal support beams and hull, though the boat remained afloat.18:07 Repairs at Stavanger Båtvæksted took four weeks and cost $40,000, involving the removal of the keel, structural fiberglass reinforcement, and replacement of broken floorboards.25:26 The project also included installing a new electronic display system integrated with the chart plotter.26:20
