A four-week refit at Blackline Marine upgraded the standing rigging, bowsprit, and furling systems on a two-masted sailboat.0:56 The project replaced the bowsprit with a laminated Sapele mahogany unit, finished with epoxy and white paint, and installed a fiberglass plate behind the Kranz iron to distribute pressure.17:48 The crew replaced the original roller furlers with Harken Mark 4 Unit 1 and Unit 2 systems, requiring a conversion of the sail luff tapes from number seven to number six.13:50 To improve deck organization, the yard welded new guides onto the stanchions for the furling lines and installed double clutches on the top cap to free up winches.15:10 The anchor assembly now features a modified opening to accommodate a Bruce anchor, with bronze rollers equipped with grease nipples to prevent squeaking.21:16 Following the refit, the crew transited from Ladysmith through Dodd Narrows to Nanaimo and Tribune Bay, managing variable winds and shallow, sandy anchorages.Watch
