The project involves seizing the forward port shroud using two frapping turns, a process chosen as a preliminary measure to accommodate hand fatigue.3:56 To protect the mast base, the crew constructs a custom mizzen mast boot using Sikaflex, self-amalgamating rigging tape, and a protective coating of net dip.8:47 The installation of upper whisker chain plates requires custom-cut backing blocks made from leftover bulwark planking, which are bedded with butyl tape on the exterior and Sikaflex on the interior.9:28 The crew also replaces engine hoses and cleans the marine diesel motor.1:28 Finally, the team hoists the forestay to the masthead, using a messenger line and a thimble crimped with a press.15:36 The process includes applying a protective slush coating to the wire and hardware to prevent corrosion.17:14
