O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of the 40-ft sailboat *Uma* installs new Schaefer deck hardware, including a traveler, jib and genoa tracks, and line organizers.0:11 To prevent leaks and thermal bridging, the team creates custom G10 backing plates and seals all through-deck bolt penetrations with epoxy caps.1:28 When installing the traveler pedestals, they use a test nut to ensure proper bolt depth, avoiding over-tightening and stainless steel galling.6:24 To align the jib tracks with the existing non-skid pattern, they use a 25mm spacer stick to mark the deck before drilling.10:35 They over-drill holes to 12mm, fill them with epoxy, and re-drill to 8mm to create a protective epoxy donut that isolates the core from the bolts.16:37 The team applies Tefgel to all stainless-to-aluminum interfaces to prevent galvanic corrosion.18:20 They emphasize that knowing when to stop tooling caulking joints prevents smearing and results in a cleaner finish.8:55 The traveler bridge is mounted straight to ensure smooth operation of the 4:1 purchase system.21:46
