What this video covers
The crew of the sailboat *Tritium* fabricates a custom, lightweight anchor roller system designed to keep ground tackle weight centered for performance.0:35 They construct the assembly using a marine-grade roller, custom-machined starboard polymer sheaves, and Dyneema lashings secured to deck pad eyes.0:41 To prevent moisture intrusion and structural rot, they drill oversized holes through the deck, fill them with epoxy to seal the internal coring, and then redrill to the correct bolt size.6:27 This process also isolates the carbon fiber hull from stainless steel hardware to prevent galvanic corrosion.6:36 After completing the installation, the crew takes *Tritium* out for a sea trial in light wind to test the rigging and the new anchor setup.8:10 The project concludes with interior electrical organization using zip-tie anchors bonded with West System G Flex epoxy, which requires flame treatment and degreasing for proper adhesion to plastic surfaces.13:53
