Cosa tratta questo video

Alexandros Retsinas demonstrates and installs ultraglozz Bungee mooring shock absorbers — elastic rubber clamps from Denmark — as replacements for traditional metal spring shock absorbers on dock lines.Watch The ultraglozz Bungee clips directly onto a loaded line without removing it from the cleat; the rope folds double, slides into the rubber body, and the cap snaps shut.1:03 Each unit works on lines from 6 mm to 18 mm.1:03 Retsinas carries four units per trip and shows two installation methods: on a single dock line and on a double slip line, adjusting placement to keep the bungees clear of cleats and fairleads.4:01 He demonstrates the effect by motoring ahead and astern to load the lines, showing the rubber absorbing both stretch and impact through friction, not elasticity alone.5:52 The units proved their worth during a severe swell event at Kos, where neighboring boats suffered damage.6:14 Retsinas also covers use on bridles, anchor snubbers (eliminating nighttime chain noise in strong wind), and halyards.6:14 The product is available through Tsouros Marine in Greece or online.7:50 A friend named Lars in Denmark supplied the units for testing in the Aegean and Cyclades during the Mediterranean Masterclass.7:44
