Broken Deck Cleat Right Before a Storm (Episode 27)
Рет қаралды 355
Жыл бұрынHi everyone, my name is Vasil and I am restoring a 1974 Columbia 45. In this episode the cleat holding my mooring line broke. The timing was impeccable. Had this happened at any other time, my boat would have floated away, and likely crashed into the other sailboats near me. I was lucky enough to find the broken cleat when I did and replace it with a new part.

You can see in my last video, I had cleat problems as well. There was only a nut holding the cleat to the deck rather than a plate and a nut. I now use 4 cleats to keep my little boat on the mooring. It's good nothing worse happened to you with that broken cleat. Wow! Thankfully I never had one break like yours. You might want to use butyl tape or thickened epoxy in the holes you made for the cleats. If water gets into the core of your deck, the deck will delaminate and become soft.

Crazy indeed! How are you attaching the mooring line to the 4 cleats?

@@ambiguousglobetrotter Take a look at my latest video where I show the setup.

Btw in Russia sailors make those cleats out of metal tubes using welder, of your are on a budget-maybe finding a fellow welding guy would be a nice option

Haha, I could totally see that happening! The ones that I bought were not too expensive. Galvanized steel for $15 each. The Stainless, those are EXPENSIVE, about $100-120!!
