Refit work on the 38-ft sailboat Squib includes installing a Windpilot self-steering system, mounting Spinlock rope clutches, and finishing deck hardware. The crew mounts the Windpilot main bracket on the stern, ensuring the rudder clears the swim ladder, and plans to finalize the installation after sourcing correct-length bolts.0:29 To accommodate new deck turning blocks, a wooden block requires planing to reduce its thickness, allowing for 70 mm bolts instead of 80 mm.3:02 The project also involves installing two sections of Keder rail for cockpit enclosure mounting and securing access covers on the equipment arch, which required grinding the edges for a flush fit.5:18 Finally, the crew installs Spinlock rope clutches on both sides of the cockpit to replace manual line handling, using thickened epoxy to level the mounting surface where holes exited near reinforcement edges.11:23 The crew fills remaining pinholes in the fiberglass with epoxy and polishes the bow pulpit before final assembly.15:49
