Ce que couvre cette vidéo
S/V Quetzal experiences three mechanical failures during a weekend cruise from Herring Bay to St. Michaels on the Chesapeake Bay. Before departure, an override on the in-boom furling drum prevents the mainsail from hoisting.1:59 The owner resolves this by removing the faceplate and guard to clear the fouled line.2:26 Upon arrival at St. Michaels, the coupling between the propeller shaft and the AquaDrive separates while shifting into reverse, caused by missing bolts.4:31 The owner recovers one bolt from the bilge and sources others to secure the forward and aft CV joints with five and three bolts respectively, allowing the vessel to motor back to its slip.13:04 During the stay, a nearby Beneteau Swift trawler drags anchor toward the vessel, requiring the crew to deploy fenders before the trawler’s owners move their boat.11:15 The crew successfully completes the return passage to Herring Bay by prioritizing sailing to minimize engine use while the drivetrain remains compromised.13:31
