Northern Dancer 5 undergoes a four-week refit at Blackline Marine in Canoe Cove, British Columbia, to replace aging standing rigging, roller furlers, and the bowsprit.16:52 The project involves replacing all standing rigging on the two-masted vessel while keeping the masts stepped.9:44 Technicians install new furlers for the Yankee and staysail, requiring the removal of the 13-foot-2-inch bowsprit.16:15 The new bowsprit consists of four layers of horizontally laminated Sapele Mahogany to improve water resistance.15:51 While the bowsprit is removed, the crew re-caulks the deck underneath and installs custom-welded stanchion guides and a new double clutch system to manage furling lines more cleanly.12:04 The refit also includes modifications to the anchor rollers and openings.17:01 After testing the fit and applying epoxy primer and topcoats, the team reinstalls the bowsprit.16:07 The upgrades provide increased reliability for future coastal and offshore passages.
