Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the 50-year-old sailboat Uma removes the rudder to inspect for water damage and potential bushing failure.1:18 After disconnecting the steering quadrant and autopilot tiller arm from inside the cockpit locker, they remove the bronze cap at the base of the skeg and slide the rudder assembly out.3:17 The rudder blade, which the crew expected to be foam-cored, proves to be solid fiberglass, showing no signs of delamination or internal water saturation.15:45 Conversely, core samples taken from the skeg reveal saturated foam and filler, necessitating future excavation and repair.20:12 The project also involves filling unused deck holes with epoxy to prepare for new hardware installations, utilizing G10 backing plates for future through-bolted deck gear.7:27 The rudder removal confirms the structural integrity of the stainless steel rudder post and blade, though the skeg requires further remediation to address the trapped moisture.12:52
