Sailing Yabá · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the wooden boat Yabá repairs a snapped mast while anchored at a protected mooring in Brazil. After the mast failed above the spreaders and shrouds, the owner cuts the damaged section using a Sawzall to reach solid wood.4:28 He measures the 12.5-centimeter diameter of the remaining mast top to commission a custom stainless steel sleeve from a local welder.14:07 This new cap will integrate the backstay and middle stay attachment points to distribute tension more evenly and prevent future structural fatigue.9:07 While the mast cap is at the shop, the crew removes the jib, genoa, and other sails for professional restitching and plans to convert the mainsail from a furling system to a traditional hoisting setup for easier maintenance.16:34 The crew also replaces their outboard motor with a more powerful 15-horsepower unit and begins designing a custom davit system to secure their 120-kilogram rigid dinghy.20:41 Proper structural reinforcement of the mast cap and improved rigging geometry are essential for restoring the vessel's sailing capability.
