Qué cubre este vídeo
The refit of *Elixir*, a former racing yacht, centers on structural repairs and engine installation in a New Zealand boatyard. After discovering rotted floor bearers, the crew replaced them with New Zealand hardwood to accommodate a non-original engine.▶ 1:25 The project required installing a new cutlass bearing by freezing the part and heating the bracket, followed by precise engine alignment using feeler gauges to achieve a clearance of 0.1 millimeters.▶ 14:45 Additional tasks included rebuilding rotted wooden spreaders, installing a Raymarine transducer, and addressing hull osmosis by filling blisters before applying epoxy primer and two coats of anti-fouling paint.▶ 15:48 The 26-horsepower Volvo Penta engine was reinstalled using a crane and a chain winch for final positioning.▶ 13:18 The refit concludes with the vessel prepared for relaunch following months of structural and mechanical maintenance.
