Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Steve prepares the Barlow 24 for a winter haul-out in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, by removing running rigging, sails, and corroded hardware. He strips the jib, main, and mizzen halyards, bundling blocks and lines as units to simplify spring re-installation.8:19 To prevent UV damage and facilitate deck maintenance, he removes the jib and mizzen boom, though he leaves the staysail in place to serve as a template for new stack packs.7:44 He plans to replace the existing stack packs, which show significant UV degradation and stitching failure, with new versions featuring improved drainage mesh, increased volume at the boom ends, and reinforced webbing to prevent halyard chafe against zippers.23:23 Additionally, he removes corroded brass-and-steel latch hardware from the tender’s dagger board, intending to replace them with salvaged hinges after filling the holes with graving pieces.0:28 Steve seeks a used Sailrite sewing machine and a spare Barlow 24 bronze winch to complete his winter maintenance projects.25:26
