O que este vídeo aborda
The owners of a Bavaria 46 sailboat replace the vessel's standing rigging after 18 years of service to prevent mast failure.0:29 The project involves replacing the forestay, backstay, and all shrouds, including the upper and lower cross-shrouds.1:48 To ensure the mast remains stable during the process, the crew uses the spinnaker halyard and a Dyneema line as temporary supports while the primary shrouds are disconnected.3:07 The replacement kit, sourced from Selden, arrives with pre-swaged terminals and labeled components.2:08 During installation, the crew applies Lanolin to all metal-to-metal contact points to inhibit corrosion between the stainless steel rigging and the aluminum mast.5:10 The process requires disassembling the headsail furler to replace the internal forestay cable, which involves cutting the wire with a hand saw rather than a grinder to prevent heat-induced metal degradation.15:18 After reassembling the furler and tensioning the new rigging, the crew performs a final check of the mast alignment.20:38 Replacing the aging standing rigging provides the necessary structural security for future ocean passages.18:22
