Cosa tratta questo video

Refitting a Cape George Cutter 36 requires replacing the forestay and staysail stay with new wire and installing roller furling systems.3:39 The project utilizes mechanical Stay-Loc fittings rather than swaged terminals, allowing for field inspection and repair without specialized hydraulic swaging equipment.4:37 The process involves measuring the existing pin-to-pin length, unlaying the wire strands to seat the cone, and securing the fitting with marine-grade silicone and red Loctite.5:06 Aluminum foils are then cut to length to encase the wire, providing an aerodynamic profile and a track for the sail.15:34 Because mechanical fittings do not pass through the foil extrusions, the foils must be loaded onto the wire before the final bottom fitting is attached at the boat.14:11 Maintenance for the Italian-made Balmar furling units consists of regular fresh water rinsing and applying Tef-Gel or Lanocote to fasteners to prevent corrosion and ensure future disassembly.22:42 Proper articulation is achieved by installing toggles at both the top and bottom of the stay.12:25
