Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Kent Blair performs a yard-rigging drill on a 1980 Drascombe Lugger named Anki to verify gear readiness before launching.Watch The boat features a gaff-rigged main, a roller-furling jib, and a mizzen sail mounted on a bumpkin.0:28 To accommodate a 6-horsepower Suzuki outboard, Blair installs a sacrificial pad and a series of shims—three-eighths of an inch at the top and one-quarter of an inch at the bottom—to ensure the motor clears the transom cutout when tilted.4:33 The setup requires the tiller to remain slightly elevated when the motor is in the down position to avoid contact with the fiberglass.5:19 The boat carries a manual bilge pump that discharges into the centerboard trunk, a throwable flotation device, and a ditch kit currently being updated to include a rescue flare.3:25 Blair uses a custom wooden chock to hold the rudder blade in a partially raised position during launch, allowing for full deployment once the boat clears the trailer.7:40 The rigging process takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes.9:13
