Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of a Sunreef 62 anchored at Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands performs routine maintenance on their tender and standing rigging.Watch They repair a delaminated pontoon on their 20-year-old Zodiac tender using PVC glue, applying two coats to both the boat and the pontoon before bonding.0:36 To improve downwind performance, they modify their headsail sheeting arrangement by routing sheets through spinnaker blocks, allowing for a wider sail angle.22:05 They also adjust the lazy jack system to prevent the lines from snagging on mainsail battens during hoisting or lowering.28:40 During these tasks, the crew identifies a recurring issue with their expensive Dyneema-core lines, which feature a tight, stiff casing that causes persistent pigtailing and binding in clutches.25:52 They plan to strip the original covers and replace them with larger-diameter casings to restore functionality.26:20 The crew also explores Norman Island via a 5-kilometer hiking trail and uses underwater scooters to snorkel the local reefs.4:34
