Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The owner of the 51-ft Formosa ketch *Miss Lone Star* modifies the vessel's anchor locker to prevent chain pile-up and knotting during single-handed operation.15:10 Because the original locker was too shallow, the chain frequently bunched up at the windlass, causing the anchor to jam.14:25 Working with a crew member, the owner cuts out the existing sole—the horizontal floor of the locker—and installs new wooden ledgers to support a lowered sole, effectively increasing the locker's depth.15:18 The project includes managing electrical wiring near the windlass to prevent damage from the chain.17:57 Additionally, the owner receives assistance from Seawater Pro to replace filters on the boat's watermaker.13:36 After completing the locker modification, the owner reports that anchoring alone is significantly easier.22:20 The vessel remains in the La Cruz area, where the owner continues to refine systems and organize storage in preparation for future offshore passages.22:26
