Crew grinds barnacles off Yabá’s rudder post with power tool

O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of the sailboat Yabá performs extensive refit work while hauled out at a shipyard, focusing on steering system repairs, engine room ventilation, and mast modifications. To address play in the steering, they replace a 20-year-old cracked rudder quadrant with a new unit of identical design and re-tension the steering cables using Dyneema lines.4:15 They install new engine room exhaust vents to improve airflow and prepare the gaffs by fitting custom rings and rubber matting to protect the wood.10:59 Using a rented crane and bucket lift, they weld new spreader mounts to the mast and install the spreaders, noting that the temporary length of the timber allows for potential conversion into a crow’s nest.21:22 The use of the crane significantly reduces the time and physical strain compared to working from a bosun's chair.26:13 The project concludes with final adjustments to the mast hardware before an approaching storm.
