Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the SV Delos installs Jaffa self-aligning rudder bearings and fabricates custom aluminum rudders for their catamaran build.1:15 To secure the bearings within the rudder tubes, the team uses Chockfast, an industrial-grade epoxy, poured through drilled and tapped quarter-inch BSP barb fittings.2:23 They manage the exothermic reaction by mixing smaller batches to prevent the compound from setting prematurely due to heat buildup.14:39 For the rudder fabrication, the team uses CNC-cut aluminum plates and a round bar for the leading edge, bracing the structure with aluminum channel strongbacks to prevent warping during welding.27:33 The rudder stock is aligned with a 60-degree offset for the tiller arm to ensure proper steering geometry.22:04 The final assembly requires lifting the boat to insert the rudder stocks, a task scheduled for the upcoming fit-out phase.30:53 The project confirms that careful heat management and rigid jigging are essential when welding large aluminum components to maintain structural alignment.
