Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of Magic Carpet modifies their anchor locker to shift chain weight further aft and lower in the hull, aiming to improve sailing performance and safety.5:28 Initial tests using a foam-based chute and a pipe failed to guide galvanized chain effectively, as the material piled up rather than sliding into the new storage area.7:14 After consulting with Todd at Cape George Marine Works, the crew removed a section of the bulkhead that previously obstructed the chain's path and prepared to line the locker with slippery plastic to reduce friction.11:21 Subsequent testing confirmed that removing the bulkhead lip allowed the chain to flow into the locker as intended.15:58 Additionally, the crew replaced a stainless steel bobstay fitting with a custom bronze version from Cape George Marine Works to mitigate the risk of crevice corrosion during future ocean voyages.16:45 The installation involved enlarging the hull penetration with a Dremel tool and bonding the fitting with epoxy.17:07
