Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Refurbishing the bowsprit on the 40-ft sailboat Miss Lone Star involves removing the forestays, repairing the platform with epoxy, and reinstalling the assembly. To remove the bowsprit, the crew attempts to support the mast by tensioning halyards to the deck’s hawse holes before releasing the four forestays.2:09 After struggling with seized shackles and turnbuckles, the crew uses West Systems 105 Epoxy Resin and 205 Fast Hardener to fill surface voids on the platform.3:00 An initial attempt to cure the epoxy fails when the mixture overheats in tropical temperatures, causing the resin to smoke and foam; the crew sands the failed layer and reapplies a fresh batch.12:37 Final assembly requires sealing the ironwork with 4200 marine sealant.19:47 Beyond the bowsprit project, the crew performs minor maintenance including replacing cabin light bulbs and preparing the alternator for a Balmar regulator.9:02 Planning for future Pacific crossings includes addressing water ingress in the rudder and installing a wind generator.15:18
