Qué cubre este vídeo

Leo Goolden applies two fiberglass wraps to the wooden mast of Tally Ho in Ensenada, Mexico, to protect against gaff-saddle chafe at reefed positions discovered after a heavy-wind overnight passage with Marat.9:54 He laminates three layers of 8 oz cloth using West Systems epoxy with a clear hardener, laying them up on a floating workbench upside-down on plastic sheeting, then hoists the bench aloft and applies the wet layup to the mast while hanging in a harness.11:42 Peel ply over the finished surface produces a consistent finish without sanding.20:09 He chose fiberglass over brass strips to avoid drilling additional holes in the mast center and to reduce the risk of water ingress.10:56 Higher on the mast, previously installed brass rubbing strips at the gaff saddle positions continue to handle the heavier chafe loads.11:35 Separately, a professional varnisher named Ricardo sands and re-coats the main companionway hatch and cockpit, while Leo plans to repaint the dinghy interior with paint rather than varnish for lower UV maintenance.8:54 Chafe protection at reefed gaff positions is a structural priority on a gaff-rigged vessel making extended downwind passages.
