Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Leo Goolden mounts a Starlink dish atop the radar dome on the mast of the 47-foot cutter Tally Ho.▶ 0:00 To secure the mount, he glues a plywood backing pad inside the radar cover using G-Flex epoxy, trimming the mounting bolts to ensure they do not interfere with the internal radar transmitter.▶ 3:39 Testing confirms that the Starlink and radar operate simultaneously without signal interference.▶ 6:45 Following the installation, the crew sails from an anchorage toward Gabriola Island, utilizing a bowsprit traveler to hoist the jib without going outboard.▶ 7:55 Upon arrival at Gabriola, they install custom Sunbrella hatch covers and a boom tent fabricated by a local sailor to protect the vessel's teak woodwork from UV damage and rain.▶ 14:17 These covers feature a two-piece design to accommodate sliding hatch components.▶ 16:57 The project aims to reduce long-term maintenance requirements, specifically sanding and varnishing, as the boat prepares for an offshore passage to San Francisco and Mexico.▶ 17:20
