Salt & Tar: Ep.113- Building Our Buehler Boat

Описание: With most of California on fire, working conditions aren’t ideal but we press onward. We work on the main chainplates a little, make some more headway on the engine deck box before we wait on parts again, and solve a problem. We’ve known for a while that the mizzen shrouds might not clear the bulwarks but have been putting off that confirmation. Thankfully the answer can be simple. By making backing blocks on the outside of the hull we gain the distance we need for the cable to sit just off the cap rail of the bulwarks. We won’t be able to use dead eyes for the mizzen rigging but traditional lashings or turnbuckles (both of which we have materials for) will be just as strong. Like Garrett said, down the road if we really want to switch to dead eyes then we can re-make/fabricate the chainplates and/or add another layer to the channels. We’re really trying to keep progress going and get sailing as soon as possible. There is still much to be done. We are getting closer and closer to real-time with the videos so you’ll be right alongside us as we figure things out and eventually sail Rediviva under the Golden Gate south!

CHEERS 👍
