Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of Uma installs a modular, swivel-mount cockpit table system to replace the boat's removed wheel steering with a more open tiller-steered layout. They select a commercial dovetail-bracket system that allows the table to be moved between multiple mounting points in the cockpit or removed entirely for storage.2:11 Initial plans to build a large, folding tabletop surfaced with synthetic teak decking are abandoned after the assembly reaches 16.5 kilograms, which exceeds the load capacity of the wobbly, plastic-based mounting hardware.7:55 The crew simplifies the design by removing the fold-out leaves and reducing the synthetic teak usage, resulting in a 6-kilogram tabletop that is easier to handle and more stable on the existing bracket.10:08 The final design allows the table to rotate 360 degrees, providing clearance for cockpit locker access and movement while sailing.14:01 The project concludes with the installation of a custom GoPro tripod mount on the companionway hatch and new boat emblems.15:45
