Qué cubre este vídeo
Adriano and Denise, aboard their 38-foot sailboat, perform extensive repairs on the vessel’s anchor windlass and hot water boiler. The windlass had become dangerously loose after three of its four mounting studs sheared off due to metal fatigue.16:49 Unable to extract the broken studs, Adriano drilled four new holes in the deck, installed fresh studs secured with Loctite, and reinforced the mounting base.13:06 During the repair, he also replaced the wiring for the bow navigation lights.11:47 Simultaneously, Adriano serviced the boiler’s pressure relief valve to resolve a leak that had previously caused water to flood the interior.3:59 While working on the 110V inverter system, he accidentally triggered a short circuit, which tripped the residual current device (RCD) and required a full disassembly of the unit to reset.4:45 The crew also managed laundry and provisioning in preparation for a short passage to Santander to produce water and celebrate the New Year.21:36 Proper mounting and structural integrity are critical for windlass performance under load.
