Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the Open 66 sailboat NV performs a rudder shaft realignment while hauled out in a remote North Borneo boatyard.Watch The rudder’s wet bearing system had slipped downward by approximately 5 millimeters, causing the top seal to lose contact with the bearing and allowing water ingress.2:46 To correct the alignment, the crew constructs a temporary support structure using oil drums, wood, and wedges to stabilize a hydraulic jack beneath the rudder.12:47 After cleaning oxidation from the stainless steel shaft with acid and silicone grease, they use the jack to lift the shaft into its proper position.4:15 To prevent future slippage, they drill into the shaft and install four clamping bolts to lock it in place.16:04 The crew also re-tensions the Spectra rope steering quadrant system, which utilizes two independent circuits for redundancy.19:48 The rudder now moves smoothly without noise or structural binding.22:16
