Qué cubre este vídeo
The owners of the sailboat *Cosmo* utilize the A9 Anchorage in San Diego, California, as a base for a two-week period to facilitate standing rigging replacement and deck modifications. The crew registers for the A9 transient anchorage through the Port of San Diego, a process requiring a valid registration, fire extinguishers, life jackets, and functional bilge pumps and holding tanks.▶ 2:09 While anchored in 19 feet of water near the airport, the crew uses a dinghy to access downtown San Diego and Little Italy, noting that dinghy dock security varies significantly by location.▶ 3:23
To prepare for a professional rigging overhaul, the owners remove the sails and coordinate with a rigger to replace 24-year-old standing rigging.▶ 11:21 The project includes removing the mast, installing a hydraulic boom vang, and relocating solar panels to prevent interference with the mainsail.▶ 8:26 Following the mast removal at a boatyard, the crew performs interior storage modifications in the v-berth by removing an obstructive shroud.▶ 16:30 The vessel remains in the San Diego area through September to complete these upgrades before departing for Mexico in November.
