O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of Oceanaire | Wik & Rox performs extensive maintenance and upgrades while docked in a Sicily marina. Inspections reveal significant damage to the in-mast furling system, including a bent gooseneck assembly, failing bearings in the furling drum, and a seized boom cart that prevents smooth sail deployment.11:19 The owners plan to replace the entire gooseneck and boom cart assembly, noting that the current setup uses non-original hooks and exhibits signs of galvanic corrosion where stainless steel components meet the aluminum mast.12:05 Additionally, the crew installs a Tecma marine toilet with a True Design three-way valve to manage waste discharge between overboard and holding tank options.7:14 Ongoing deck maintenance involves manual sanding of 30 meters of teak, a process complicated by the failure of their power sander.8:58 The crew also inspects their standing rigging and sails, identifying the need for a full replacement of all running rigging lines and professional repair for tears in the mainsail.21:26
