Qué cubre este vídeo
Preparation for stepping a mast at the Bluff Yacht Club in Durban, South Africa, involves inspecting standing rigging for structural integrity and replacing worn running rigging.0:19 To identify potential fatigue, the crew uses a three-part Spanjart dye penetrant system on stainless steel fittings, cleaning the metal before applying a penetrant, followed by a developer to highlight surface cracks.0:53 While some fittings show red staining, the crew attributes these marks to surface rust or minor indentations rather than structural fractures.8:02 The project also includes adjusting the spreader angle to a 6-degree bend using a protractor template and securing the rigging to the spreaders with seizing wire, which the crew sourced locally after a multi-day search.9:43 Additionally, the team reassembles the roller furling system, clearing out all spare parts except for one bolt requiring a thread tap.13:34
