En esta ocasión hemos ido a inspeccionar una jarcia firme a un velero Bavaria 42 en el puerto Azimut Norte, en San Adrián de Cobres. La revisión de obenques estays y backstays en imprescindible. Los fabricantes aconsejan su cambio a los diez años. Si observas cualquier óxido en los cables y sobre todo en los terminales, debes sustituirlo en seguida, ya que es muy probable que estos rompan con el consiguiente desarbolado del palo. Revisa muy a menudo tu jarcia. Así mismo, es muy importante llevar bien la tensión de la jarcia. Una jarcia demasiado tensa o demasiado floja puede desembocar también en una rotura de la jarcia con la posterior rotura del mástil

☔🛥️ Rainy Days at the Anchorage: A Watery Tale 🛥️☔ Rain, rain, and more rain! The heavens have opened up over the anchorage, drenching everything in sight. My watertank fills up in no time, courtesy of Mother Nature's generous downpour. But the real surprise? Take a look at my dinghy – it's transformed into a mini bathtub, brimming with rainwater! As I watch the rain cascade down, I can't help but marvel at the abundance of water surrounding me. Despite the soggy conditions, there's a sense of wonder and gratitude for nature's bounty. It's a reminder that even on the stormiest days, there's beauty to be found in the simplest of moments. ⚓️ #RainyAnchorage #Nature'sBounty #Soggy ⚓️ ☔🛥️ Regenachtige Dagen voor Anker: Een Waterig Verhaal 🛥️☔ Regen, regen en nog meer regen! De hemel heeft zich geopend boven het ankergebied en alles wordt doorweekt. Mijn watertank vult zich in een mum van tijd, dankzij de overvloedige stortbui van Moeder Natuur. Maar de echte verrassing? Kijk eens naar mijn dinghy - die is veranderd in een klein badkuipje, vol met regenwater! Terwijl ik de regen naar beneden zie stromen, kan ik niet anders dan verwonderd zijn over de overvloed aan water om me heen. Ondanks de natte omstandigheden, is er een gevoel van verwondering en dankbaarheid voor de overvloed van de natuur. Het is een herinnering dat zelfs op de stormachtigste dagen schoonheid te vinden is in de eenvoudigste momenten. ⚓️ #RegenachtigAnkergebied #OvervloedVanDeNatuur #Nat ⚓️ #short
