Qué cubre este vídeo

Garrett installs two custom wooden upgrades to his sailboat while anchored in Puerto Escondido to improve rigging function and equipment storage.0:40 To replace a bridle system that previously supported the boom, he fabricates two black locust "mast ears" bolted to the mast.2:20 These nubs provide a permanent rest for the boom jaws when the sail is lowered, allowing for the removal of the existing eye bolt and bridle.3:06 He uses a homemade wooden jig to guide a Forstner bit for countersinking bolts flush into the mast.9:05 Additionally, he constructs a custom wooden mount for a Starlink antenna, attaching it to the existing solar panel frame at the stern.10:33 To mitigate bounce in the cantilevered mount, he adds a black locust backbone for structural reinforcement.16:20 The project concludes with the installation of a watertight through-deck fitting for the antenna cable.18:38
