Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A Cape George Cutter 36 named Magic Carpet relaunches after a winter refit, and Maya walks through the deck upgrades completed before the crane appointment.0:09 The primary anchoring addition is a 45-pound Mantis disassembling spare anchor, chosen because the main Vulcan anchor could snag on submerged debris or logs along the BC coast — a real risk the crew encountered repeatedly while cruising there.7:46 The spare stows below when not needed, secured on deck with a ratchet strap and through-bolted D-ring.10:31 A Mantis anchor bridle — pre-spliced, with a heavy custom shackle and three-strand rode arms splitting to both bow cleats — replaces an improvised dock-line setup; Maya explains why Dyneema is wrong for a bridle (no shock absorption) and demonstrates routing the legs around a bowsprit bobstay.11:54 A 1500-watt Maxwell electric windlass replaced the manual one.6:50 Other additions include secondary cockpit winches for headsail furling, two engine-room ventilation hatches with blowers (one ducted directly to the alternator), wind vane tiller controls, a new solar arch, a spinnaker pole sourced from the yard, and several small interior finish items — epoxy-coated quarter-berth cable cover, fridge lid repair, and a teak shower drip groove.2:09 A dinghy anchor from Mantis also disassembles and clips together without tools.11:01
