O que este vídeo aborda
Garrett and Ruth prepare to install a manual windlass on the deck of their custom-built vessel, Red Aviva.0:21 The project requires aligning the windlass gypsy with the bowsprit roller to ensure smooth chain flow while avoiding interference with the Samson post.4:03 After cleaning and greasing the windlass internals, the crew measures the deck beams and bulwark stanchions from below to determine the optimal mounting position.5:38 They create a cardboard template to verify the fit between structural beams and plan to fabricate a backing block to reinforce the deck.19:26 The installation process involves drilling mounting holes, sealing the end grain with epoxy, and bedding the hardware with butyl tape.18:27 Future steps include building a chain chute to direct the anchor rode into a forward locker and potentially adding bracing between the Samson post and the forward deck beam to handle the mechanical load of the windlass.18:45 Proper alignment and structural reinforcement are essential for a reliable anchor handling system.
