Yelkenli Teknede en çok uğraştıran sorunlardan biri minderlerin kılıfları. Genelde fermuarları bozulduğu için olduğu gibi çıkarıp yıkamak pek mümkün olmuyor, bu durumda da dışardan, kılıfı da zedelemeden temizlemek gerekiyor.

Would you change seacock valve 65cm below the water line whilst afloat?! It might not be as scary as you think. This valve body seized up (despite only being 3-4 years old) so I unscrewed it, popped in a wooden bung, bought a new one and screwed it on. The trick is to be prepared. I had all my wooden bungs on hand, covered any electrical equipment and was ready for the worst case scenario. Fortunately, because it was a fairly new fitting, it came undone relatively easily and the job was pretty straight forward 😊💦 And what’s the worst case scenario I was prepared for? The worst case scenario is the thru hull fitting itself breaking off when I attempt to unscrew the valve. What would I do about it? Just tap in one of my many wooden bungs and then arrange to get the boat lifted out! That scenario was quite unlikely but it helps to think through what could happen. What also helped me is that, from previous experimentation on another boat, we have pumps that I know could easily outrun the water coming in through that hole. An uncontrolled inflow through that fitting wouldn’t be good as it would spray seawater everywhere but it’s good to know that the pumps could cope. It’s always counter intuitive and panic inducing to see water flooding in to the boat and I know many people don’t like to pull out their paddle wheel log transducers for that very reason however staying calm and knowing that it would actually take quite a long time to sink through a 3/4” hole means it may not be as bad as you think. Always worth thinking what else could help. Whilst away, shopping for parts, I left Kate armed with cushions as well as wooden bungs as a cushion pushed hard over a hole will slow the flow enough that most bilge pumps would cope. Despite my previous experiments I was even surprised how little water we took on but the point is that, with a little thought and prep, changing a valve or pulling that paddle wheel so it doesn’t foul up needn’t be that stressful or require an expensive lift out. Luckily for me everything went super smoothly this time so no need for backup plans! It does get the heart pumping a bit when you haven’t done it for a while though! 😊💦 #followintrepidbear #sailinglife #sailing #sailor #liveaboard #sailboat #boatlife

Boaters can take several steps to deal with Sargasso seaweed: 1. Avoid areas with large concentrations of Sargasso seaweed: Boaters can use satellite imagery and other resources to identify areas with high concentrations of seaweed and avoid them if possible. 2. Slow down and be cautious: Sargasso seaweed can be thick and difficult to navigate through, so boaters should slow down and proceed with caution when encountering it. 3. Clear the seaweed from the boat: Boaters can use a net or rake to remove seaweed from the boat, being careful not to damage the boat or the seaweed. 4. Check the engine and cooling system: Sargasso seaweed can clog the engine and cooling system, so boaters should check them regularly and clean them if necessary. 5. Dispose of the seaweed properly: Boaters should dispose of the seaweed properly, either by composting it or disposing of it in a designated area. They should not throw it back into the water, as this can spread the seaweed to other areas.
