Cosa tratta questo video
The crew replaces collapsed dinghy davits on a C&C 39 sailboat with a heavy-duty set to improve structural integrity.Watch The installation begins by removing the old mounts and the block and tackle system while using a temporary pole to support the solar panels.0:17 Because the boat features a narrow 42-inch stern, the new davit system requires a spreader bar to prevent side-loading and twisting, which caused the previous failure.4:33 The installer cuts six inches off the provided 48-inch spreader bar to fit the transom width.5:29 To ensure a watertight seal, the crew uses butyl tape on all old and new mounting holes.2:37 The new mounts include backing plates and fully threaded bolts for a secure fit against the fiberglass.2:08 Gordon assists with the final installation of the spreader bar and upper braces.5:43 The project concludes by reinforcing the davits with back struts, modeled after crane boom rigging, to handle the load of the dinghy and solar array.4:09
