Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Rigging repairs on the vessel include replacing an elongated clevis pin and adjusting shroud tension to address surveyor findings before a planned Gulf Stream crossing.5:34 The process involves applying Tefgel to prevent galvanic corrosion on dissimilar metals and ensuring cotter pins are oriented with the head upward to prevent accidental backing out.2:25 Tension on the cap shrouds is increased from 12% to 16% using a tension gauge, while lower shrouds are balanced to pull equally in four directions.6:38 Final tuning requires sea trials; if the leeward shroud goes slack while sailing close-hauled with the main and genoa, the crew must tighten the turnbuckles in equal increments until the slack disappears.8:07 Additionally, the crew practices tying a bowline knot around their waists while in a pool to simulate a man overboard recovery scenario.9:15 Proper knot technique requires passing the line through the loop, around the standing part, and back through the loop to secure the line effectively under physical exertion.11:00
