Qué cubre este vídeo

A C&C 39 owner discovered failing baby stays during a routine rigging inspection, noting broken wire strands and cracked crimped fittings.0:06 To replace the damaged rigging while at anchor, the crew secured the mast using temporary support lines.6:28 They attached soft shackles to the masthead and ran 15-foot cargo ratchet straps from these points down to the deck cleats and the boat's full-length aluminum tow rail.4:29 With the mast supported, the owner climbed the rig using single-rope technique gear to unpin and remove the three compromised stays.4:45 A local rigging shop in Miami fabricated replacements, which the owner installed after waiting for calm weather to ensure safe two-handed work aloft.7:25 The new baby stays include a quick-release coupling on the forward stay to allow the spinnaker pole to pass during jibes.9:04 The owner tensioned the new rigging to approximately 12 percent of breaking strength for the baby stays and 25 percent for the main stays, verifying the settings with a Loos gauge.10:27 Regular inspection of standing rigging prevents catastrophic mast failure.
