O que este vídeo aborda
After completing a DIY re-rig in St. Mary’s, Georgia, the crew of a cruising sailboat encounters a submerged, unmarked anchor line while attempting to depart.9:46 The line fouls the propeller, stalling the engine in a strong current as the tide drops, nearly grounding the vessel while the mast remains only partially supported by temporary stays.3:44 The crew clears the line, confirms the propeller shaft remains functional, and completes the rig tensioning.5:16 The boat then motors to Fernandina Beach, Florida.12:59 The owner notes that measuring standing rigging while the mast is stepped on board leads to uneven turnbuckle tension and mast curvature.6:56 The crew also discovers that the dinghy dock at Fernandina Beach becomes inaccessible at low tide due to a minus 1.1-foot tidal drop.16:18 The owner advises measuring all rigging precisely before removing old stays to avoid the complications of estimating lengths during a DIY replacement.17:51
