Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of a Young Son 50, currently hauled out in a Guatemala boatyard, inspects the vessel’s interior and storage shed to address long-standing maintenance issues and missing equipment. The primary focus involves replacing degraded or missing rubber gaskets on the boat's portholes to prevent water ingress during heavy weather.9:09 The team identifies that several portholes lack proper seals, while others feature incorrectly installed or deteriorating rubber.12:06 After locating various sizes of replacement gaskets in storage, they cut and fit the material to ensure a watertight seal for each frame.15:20 The inspection also reveals a previously broken bow water fitting that caused past leaks, as well as a need to relocate cockpit supports for a storyboard.6:02 The crew confirms the necessity of verifying all through-hull fittings and seals before offshore passages, particularly when anticipating heavy seas.
