O que este vídeo aborda
Mads and Eva continue the refit of their sailboat, Athena, focusing on plumbing, interior finishing, and rig tuning. They install two Whale Gulper IC diaphragm pumps: one for the bilge and one for a grey water system serving the shower and vanity sink.1:28 The grey water setup uses a two-way manifold with an external sensor to avoid contact with wastewater.3:05 During installation, they encounter incompatible electrical connectors on the pumps, a result of a mid-production design change by the manufacturer.4:41 The crew also installs safety glass mirrors in the head using rubber gaskets and decorative screw caps.7:13 Additionally, they test the newly plumbed pressurized hot and cold water system, which currently relies on a hydronic heater connected to a cockpit-mounted water heater.15:30 Finally, Mads begins tuning the standing rigging using a guide, though he pauses the process after discovering excessive tension on the mast struts.12:14
