Refitting a wooden boat for launch requires managing multiple maintenance tasks during inclement weather, including hull preparation, metalwork, and interior restoration. To protect the gaffs from metal-on-metal wear, the crew installs rubber padding between the gaffs and metal rings.1:00 They also replace the rudder’s pintle and gudgeon washers with custom-cut nylon discs to reduce friction and noise, using wooden wedges to lift the rudder assembly for installation.16:51 Hull maintenance involves removing barnacles and old caulking with an angle grinder and Scotch-Brite pads, followed by applying anti-fouling paint.26:55 Interior work includes sanding and varnishing 20-year-old wooden stairs and refinishing floor planks with anti-skid coating.13:33 The crew also installs 24-volt exhaust blowers in the engine room to improve ventilation.28:56 To finalize measurements for new sails, they hoist the existing sails using the halyards to ensure accurate dimensions without removing them from the boat.32:52 Maintaining a strict schedule in a shipyard environment often requires adapting tasks to weather conditions, such as prioritizing indoor varnishing and mechanical repairs when rain prevents exterior painting.8:06
