Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of a sailboat repairs a damaged mast base while the vessel remains in the water, unable to haul out due to deep draft and shallow marina depths.2:17 After loosening the shrouds and supporting the mast with temporary lines, they use a hydraulic jack and wooden shims to lift the mast slightly.1:57 A custom-fabricated aluminum plate is fitted into the mast base to provide a stable, non-shifting seat for the mast step.9:05 The team drills new holes for Monel rivets to minimize electrolysis between the aluminum plate and the mast.7:43 Throughout the two-day process, the crew repeatedly adjusts the plate's fit using an angle grinder to ensure precise alignment before re-tensioning the shrouds and securing the assembly with threaded bolts.11:17 Separately, the crew installs a new marine toilet in the cabin, working through high temperatures and limited hardware availability.15:35 The mast repair concludes with the installation of lateral locking bolts to prevent future movement of the mast foot.13:28
