EP206. Modifying the Capstan (with a Swiss machinist)
Added 2024-12-07 18:09:15 +0000 UTCIn this episode we arrive in Canada and begin our winter cruising. Before we get far though, we have to fix some issues with the chain stripper and the gypsy on the 114-year-old Capstan. I meet an amazing retired Swiss machinist who helps with some of the metalwork, and finish the installation of the new parts while Marit sails the PT11 dinghy in a protected anchorage.

still fascinating ,, hard to believe the video #1 and the $1.00 boat.. what a journey. As an aside, does the machinist have his own channel?
