Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the wooden boat Yabá is rebuilding the vessel’s steering and electrical systems as part of a comprehensive restoration. To replace an unreliable rope-and-cog steering mechanism that previously caused a loss of rudder control, the team installed a chain-driven quadrant system.5:10 This design, modeled after traditional schooner steering, requires precise alignment to ensure the rudder turns fully without striking the hull or keel.8:41 The crew used a chainsaw to modify the platform and keel, creating a V-shaped clearance to improve water flow to the propeller.12:42 Simultaneously, the team is organizing the boat's electrical wiring, replacing old connections, and installing a Victron power management suite, including a Smart Solar Charge Controller, Orion DC-DC converter, and smart shunt.18:23 They are also installing interior lighting and custom wooden latches for storage access.20:27 The project involves iterative testing of electrical circuits and mechanical clearances to ensure long-term reliability.
