Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the sailboat Catalpa removes an obsolete Furuno radar unit and its associated cabling from the mizzen mast while hauled out in a Mexican boatyard.0:32 To prepare for the installation of a newer Raymarine radar system, the owner ascends the mast in a bosun’s chair to thread pull cords through the compression post and mast conduit.5:11 The process involves removing an old network cable and a range-extender antenna to clear space for a future HF aerial and a standalone AIS transceiver.2:02 Because the existing radar mount requires modification to fit the new unit, the crew unbolts the entire assembly from the mast to perform the necessary drilling and cleaning on the ground.17:11 The project also includes integrating legacy ST60 instruments into a modern SeaTalk NG network using an adapter.4:10 The crew notes that while dropping the mast would simplify the work, they are currently avoiding the expense of re-rigging.17:32 Successful installation of pull cords ensures that the new radar and antenna cables can be routed through the mast once the hardware is retrieved from storage.17:07
