Series of videos which covers removing the rig to replace the standing rigging and service all the rig systems, plus some other winter maintenance aspects.
Part 1 covers lowering the mast, de-rigging, dismantling and starting to service the Selden hydraulic boom and the 3 hydraulic Furler systems. We also galvanized the anchor chain and received our Gori propeller back from service at AB Marine.
This extensive boat maintenance took place due to Covid pandemic which on a negative note caused us to defer our next leg of the circumnavigation until autumn 2021, but on a positive note gave us this opportunity to get Cloudy Bay’s systems in top shape before we cruise more remote parts of the world.
