Cosa tratta questo video
Garrett and Ruth perform a major refit on the rudder assembly of their wooden boat, *Red Aviva*, while hauled out in Penasco.0:08 To address previous electrolysis issues, Garrett replaces the rudder hardware and installs new teardrop zincs directly onto the steel gudgeons and pintle straps.0:54 He drills and taps the half-inch steel components by hand to ensure a secure, low-resistance electrical connection between the zincs and the steel.1:07 The process involves multiple test-fits of the 300-pound rudder using a block and tackle off the mizzen mast to ensure smooth movement and proper alignment.1:39 Simultaneously, Ruth completes the fairing of the cabin walls and prepares the transom for painting.6:20 The crew also finishes refastening the keel assembly with epoxy and tar.13:59 The project concludes with final priming and preparations for bottom paint, marking the transition from structural repairs to cosmetic finishing as the boat nears launch.17:49
