Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Josh returns to South Africa to prepare the 40-ft Bruce Roberts, *Nandji*, for an Atlantic crossing while his partner, Benita, remains in Australia for medical treatment.0:55 Stationed in Hout Bay, he tackles a list of maintenance tasks, including replacing a brittle furling drum on the forestay and installing a new Force Bar rod kicker to improve sail shape and reduce topping line tension.4:37 He also replaces a faulty shower pump and addresses a leaking freshwater line in the engine room.7:24

Engine troubleshooting proves difficult when the starter motor fails to crank, producing only a single click despite sufficient battery voltage.10:52 After attempting to replace the starter solenoid and unsuccessfully using a hammer to free the starter, he concludes the starter motor itself requires professional repair or replacement.14:37 With the help of a local volunteer, he re-rigs the mainsail and lazy jacks in preparation for moving the boat from Hout Bay to Cape Town, where better access to marine trades will facilitate the remaining seaworthiness upgrades.16:09
