Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the sailboat Sylvia performs emergency maintenance in Apia Harbour, Samoa, after a seized seacock leaks saltwater into the bilge, damaging power tools and spare parts.4:37 Because the boat is too large for local marina facilities, the crew cannot haul out for a permanent repair.2:51 They mitigate the leak by installing a wooden wedge bung from the outside and a custom stainless-steel suspension bolt with washers from the inside to create a temporary watertight seal.12:20 The crew also cleans the bilges with fresh water and applies oil to prevent rust.5:50 While working, they implement a rainwater collection system using hoses routed from the wheelhouse roof to the water tanks to avoid manual ferrying of water bottles.7:21 The crew also cleans the dinghy hull using a drill-powered brush attachment to remove barnacles.9:30 During these repairs, they host local visitors who recognize the boat from their online channel.14:33
