Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the Lagoon 450 *Parlay Revival* replaces their entire standing rigging in Mexico shortly before a 3,000-mile Pacific crossing to French Polynesia.0:13 After struggling to find local expertise, the team recruits Jonas Berg, an owner of Selden Mast, to lead a rigging masterclass.0:19 The project involves removing seized stem ball fittings from the mast, which the crew clears using vinegar and patience rather than drilling.7:52 They inspect all new hardware, including wires and fittings, and install Stay-Lok mechanical fittings on the diamond shrouds.3:53 To reinforce the tangs, the crew installs custom stainless steel plates to prevent sideways movement and potential failure.24:06 During assembly, they emphasize cleaning the furler foils to remove debris that could cut the forestay, a common cause of rig failure.20:46 The team uses rigging oil on turnbuckles to ensure proper tensioning and avoids using silicone or polyurethane sealants on fittings to prevent stainless steel corrosion.30:10 Professional guidance and meticulous attention to detail during the rigging process significantly reduce the risk of catastrophic mast failure at sea.
