¿Qué cubre este video?

Restoration work on the 1910 Albert Strange cutter *Tally Ho* focuses on the fabrication and installation of the bowsprit step, a structural assembly of Samson posts designed to support the heel of a running bowsprit.1:44 The assembly features a tapered dovetail joint between the posts and a lignum vitae roller turned on a lathe to facilitate the extension and retraction of the bowsprit.13:21 To manage compression loads from the head rig, a live oak knee is bolted to the inboard post and secured to the deck with a square-block coak.10:11 The posts also serve as heavy-duty belaying pins and provide an attachment point for a capstan brake.21:12 Additional tasks include installing a raw water pump for the deck wash system in the bilge and maintaining deck planking moisture levels through a bi-weekly saltwater scrub down.11:28 The gammon iron is leathered to protect the bowsprit as it passes through the bulwarks.21:31
