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.
