Qué cubre este vídeo
A C&C 39 owner fabricates and installs a custom aluminum bowsprit and dual anchor roller platform to improve cruising capability. The project utilizes 2-inch structural aluminum angle bolted to the hull sides, with hard plastic furniture leveling wedges used to square the assembly against the non-square fiberglass bow.2:24 To achieve the necessary geometry, the aluminum flange is notched and bent at a relief hole, then reinforced with welded gusset plates.4:25 The assembly is secured with seven bolts per side, using fender washers and backing plates inside the anchor locker to distribute the load.14:52 The builder tapers the forward edges of the aluminum to prevent snagging on dock pilings and adds diagonal support struts underneath for structural rigidity.9:30 Stainless steel hardware with lock nuts is used throughout to prevent vibration-induced loosening.9:03 The installation provides a dedicated mounting point for two anchors on a boat originally designed for racing rather than cruising.15:12
