Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of Salt & Tar performs maintenance on their custom-built vessel, focusing on protecting steel hardware and installing the bowsprit. To prevent corrosion on mild steel components, they wire-wheel surface rust, apply Ospo rust neutralizer, coat with Devoe Bar Rust epoxy primer, and finish with black Rust-Oleum.4:24 They install the bowsprit by bedding the base against the Samson post with sealant and securing it with through-bolts.12:57 The team also mounts a Kron’s iron at the end of the bowsprit to support the forestay and jib, adjusting the rake to align with the vessel's shear line.7:23 Additional tasks include installing a chain stopper, caulking a deck box hatch using traditional cotton and iron techniques, and cleaning ash from the deck following nearby wildfires.21:52 The project reflects a return to steady construction after a period of burnout.22:10
