Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the aluminum sailboat Gypsy 2 modifies a heavy-duty, foam-filled aluminum dinghy to replace their inflatable tender for world cruising.0:27 Because the dinghy’s original transom height requires a long-shaft outboard, the crew cuts the transom down by approximately five inches to accommodate a standard short-shaft motor.5:56 With assistance from a neighbor, the host performs his first TIG welding project to plate and cap the modified transom.7:59 Initial attempts to test the dinghy with a 15-horsepower two-stroke Yamaha Enduro reveal a clearance issue where the motor’s steering radius is restricted by the new transom width.12:48 After a second round of welding to widen the opening, the dinghy successfully clears the motor for steering.15:49 The crew plans to mount the dinghy on the foredeck using existing chocks.4:02 During the project, they also rescue a fledgling bird that fell from its nest into the water and place it on the boat's bow to dry.16:24
