Qué cubre este vídeo
Armand and Liya, sailing the 2,000-mile route from Monterey to the Sea of Cortez aboard their sailboat *Cosmo*, perform a series of masthead repairs to resolve a persistent jib halyard wrap. After a professional rigging replacement failed to prevent the jib furler from snagging, Armand makes 12 trips up the mast to reroute the halyard and install a makeshift collar to prevent the line from chafing against the aluminum masthead.▶ 7:26 He identifies the lack of a deflector wheel as the primary cause of the wrap and plans to source a replacement in La Paz or Cabo.▶ 8:45 Following the furler repair, the crew commissions their Sea Water Pro watermaker for the first time, troubleshooting a boost pump placement issue caused by the vessel's high freeboard.▶ 11:01 The system successfully produces water, allowing the crew to depart for Bahia Santa Maria.▶ 12:22
