Rigging repairs include replacing a damaged forestay; because the swaged fittings are non-removable, the wire must be cut using a battery-powered angle grinder.7:02 The owner is also mapping boat systems, including Yanmar 3GM engines and through-hulls, while planning a potential roof rebuild to include a rainwater catchment system.13:14 To access hidden stanchion bolts, the owner initially considered cutting the deck but successfully removed them by clearing old sealant and paint.14:30 The goal is to complete repairs and relaunch by December 1.11:09
