Qué cubre este vídeo

Leo Goolden and crew member Zeal finalize the rudder assembly for their wooden boat restoration project. Zeal beds and fastens the bronze pintles to the rudder using tar and hot-riveted bronze rods, a traditional method chosen for its flush profile and high strength.0:47 To control the boat with less effort, the team installs an auxiliary trim tab on the rudder’s trailing edge.4:16 They mount the trim tab gudgeons with machine screws rather than rivets to allow for future removal and maintenance.6:06 The trim tab shaft runs vertically through a G10 fiberglass tube bored into the rudder stock, which includes a Delrin bearing at the top to ensure smooth operation.11:42 The team also prepares the boat for an open house event by temporarily installing deck hardware, including winch bases, a sheet horse, and a teak butterfly skylight hatch.14:32
