Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the catamaran Mistertong upgrades their anchoring system by fabricating a new bridle and extending their rode with 30 meters of nylon line.11:21 To connect the bridle to the anchor chain, they splice a polyester line to create a loop, which attaches to the chain via a Dyneema soft shackle.2:38 The bridle itself consists of two 7.5-meter legs that can be shortened to 5.5 meters by using an additional spliced eye, allowing for adjustment based on the boat's beam.9:54 The owners use a rolling hitch to secure the bridle to the rode and reinforce the splices with whipping to prevent the line from slipping.2:20 These modifications aim to improve security in anticipation of stronger winds in the coming week. The project involves extensive rope work, including creating custom splicing needles from wire hangers.8:54 The crew also manages routine boat maintenance and veterinary care for their dog while anchored at Malendure, Guadeloupe, near the Cousteau Reserve.3:44 Proper splicing techniques and the use of soft shackles provide a reliable, adjustable connection for the vessel's ground tackle.
