A disaster of a weekend, breaking things as we prepare to build knees to take rigging loads

This is a catch-up video of a couple of weekends when we tried to prepare to fit a couple of knees to take the loads from the main mast starboard cap shroud and it's dyneema chainplate. We broke tools and it took far too long. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
