¿Qué cubre este video?
Installing a Cape Horn Varuna windvane on a Cape Dory 27 requires an outboard-mounted model to clear the boat's transom-mounted outboard motor well.0:10 The assembly process involves mounting a vertical tower and a support frame, which requires precise alignment of internal backing plates held by double-sided tape.1:00 When these plates dislodge inside the mounting tubes, a weighted messenger line is necessary to retrieve and reposition them.5:43 The installation requires drilling one-inch holes through the fiberglass to pass mounting tubes into the locker, ensuring the rudder reaches the proper depth in the water.7:28 The system uses a stainless steel Z-shaped rod to transfer vertical wind-blade motion to horizontal servo-oar movement, replacing traditional gears.2:09 For heavy air, the unit includes a smaller aluminum wind blade to replace the standard fabric version.1:37 During offshore use, thick seaweed can cause the servo oar’s safety connection to disengage, a risk that can be mitigated by adjusting the tension or depth of the safety indent.10:15
