Replacing Steel Wire Steering with DYNEEMA | Ep. 4

It's another boatyard weekend for us this week as we prepare Ragdoll for her first launch! Throughout winter, as we took the boat apart, we realised that our steel wire steering needed to be replaced and we figured dyneema might be just the thing... Join us this week as we put our steering back together using dyneema! There are a number of reasons as to why we chose dyneema rather than replacing it with steel wire again, however, we will make a more in-depth video on that soon - once we've sailed Ragdoll a little bit & we see how this performs! Have you used dyneema as a replacement to steel wire on your boat? Leave us a comment and tell us below! :) We are a family of three with three dogs, sailing the coasts of Scotland, exploring one island at a time – for now! There is no set route or plan. We will go where the wind and life take us. We have two golden retrievers and a bernese mountain dog – Hachi, Luna and Meems who sail with us. We sail on a 1995 Gib’Sea 472 who we are in the process of refitting, making our own and preparing for a big adventure. Connect with us!
