Hva denne videoen dekker

After four years of rebuilding, Ben and MP move Yabá higher into the shipyard on a wooden crib system — lubricated with cow fat and hauled by a massive winch — to complete a concentrated burst of simultaneous projects before launching.2:30 The new boom, laminated from five planks to a 10×10 cm square section, is hand-planed and rough-sanded to shape; final measurements will go to a sailmaker once the ends are cut.5:24 The gaff tumblers get stainless-steel pipe inserts to eliminate metal-on-wood wear at the pivot holes.21:59 A hinge on the engine room hatch fails and is replaced with a triangular hinge, temporarily left uncovered.14:55 The most significant job is the gearbox: a ZF40 paired with a Mercedes OM352A had been clunking hard on every shift into forward or reverse.19:21 Mechanic Josia pulls the gearbox in two hours; it proves internally sound.20:54 The noise traces to play in the cardan shaft, which will be sent off for repair along with an oil seal and flange replacement.28:09 A neighboring boat is being lifted on the same crib system, and Ben plans to launch alongside it.23:42 The cardan shaft, not the gearbox internals, was the source of the hard-shifting clunk.28:12
