Qué cubre este vídeo

Replacing the rope-style rudder seal on the 38-ft sailboat *Into the Mystic* requires accessing the rudder post through a panel in the rear cabin.1:21 After removing the jam nut, the old seal is extracted using a pick tool.2:45 The shaft is cleaned with a wire brush and sanded to remove burrs.3:53 A new rope seal is cut to length and wrapped around the shaft, with the seam of the second seal offset 180 degrees from the first to ensure a proper fit.5:32 The cap is tightened to seat the seals, and new hose clamps are installed.10:11

Separately, the crew replaces the headsail after a gust of wind shreds the original during a towing incident in San Diego Bay.12:16 A new block is installed on the railing to improve the furling line lead.12:53 Finally, a neighbor assists in climbing the mast to retrieve a tangled flag and inspect the masthead light.16:01

Replacing the rudder seal while the boat is in the water serves as a temporary repair until the vessel can be hauled for a full hose replacement.4:47
