Cosa tratta questo video

Arthur prepares his double-canoe for an upcoming ocean passage by completing several structural and rigging modifications. He replaces temporary self-tapping screws on the mast gooseneck with A2 stainless steel machine screws, drilling and tapping the holes for a secure fit.3:32 To manage the mainsheet, he lashes blocks to the boom using Dyneema to distribute strain across the spar rather than relying on surface-mounted fittings.6:14 After discovering that the steering linkage had pulled away from the hull due to excessive tension, he installs an 8mm through-bolt with a multi-layered backing plate to reinforce the connection.11:32 He also constructs an aft deck using weather-resistant Douglas fir planks, incorporating rubber patches to protect the hull and rounding the edges to improve aesthetics and functionality.17:52 The project list includes upcoming tasks such as installing a new inner forestay and mounting an engine.23:40 The owner plans to test the rigging adjustments on local lakes before departing for a planned June voyage.29:48
