Ben and MP perform maintenance on the furling systems of their boat, Yabá, while sailing along the Brazilian coast. After reaching speeds of 6.5 knots while sailing against the current toward Sambaqui, Florianópolis, the crew identifies that the stiff bow furler makes sail handling difficult and dangerous.6:03 Ben disassembles the Alado furling system, a Brazilian-made unit with few moving parts, to clean accumulated dirt and debris from the internal tubes.7:30 He uses WD-40 to loosen the mechanism but removes all excess residue to prevent attracting further grime.9:09 When the bow-mounted drum proves seized due to previous damage, Ben replaces it with a spare unit salvaged from the mainsail rigging.12:45 The crew successfully tests the reassembled system, confirming smoother operation for the jib.14:36 The project improves the ease and safety of single-handed sail handling.
