Hva denne videoen dekker
The crew of the boat Yaba prepares for a haul-out at a shipyard by fabricating new gaff-rig components, specifically the boom, gaffs, and mast jaws.0:18 To ensure the jaws remain horizontal when the gaff is raised to a 45-degree angle, the owner extends the jaw horns upward using a custom joint.4:10 This joint features a mortise-and-tenon design secured with epoxy and a wooden tree nail, or peg, which is driven through an offset hole to pull the joint tight.10:05 The team uses scrap ash and ipir wood sourced from the shipyard to construct these parts.8:17 To protect the raw wood from moisture and warping, they apply varnish immediately after sanding.23:57 The project is completed under a strict deadline as the boat awaits its turn in the shipyard’s launch crib.14:09 The crew also applies animal fat to the shipyard’s wooden slipway planks to reduce friction during the boat’s transition into the water.22:56
