The Yacht Rigger facility in Saint Petersburg, Florida, performs various marine upgrades and repairs, including the installation of a custom hardtop on a Swift trawler.13:57 Technicians align the hardtop using a temporary 2x4 support structure, sealing the aluminum-to-stainless steel connections with CT1 adhesive and Tefgel to prevent galvanic corrosion.15:22 The team also prepares a rowboat for four marine biologists planning an Atlantic crossing, replacing lifelines, jack lines, and electrical components while optimizing solar panel placement.9:19

Technical maintenance procedures include replacing a cutlass bearing by using a heavy-duty aluminum drift to press the old unit from the strut.12:37 When installing a new bearing, technicians drill a dimple for the set screw and orient the bearing so a flat surface, rather than a water groove, sits at the 6 o'clock position to prevent premature wear.13:25 Additionally, the shop demonstrates "inverending" a halyard by whipping a Flemish loop onto a new line and pulling it through the mast using the old line as a chase.5:03
