Ahoy, there guys! 

NB! The video only just got done uploading. If HD/4K are not available simply check back in half an hour :) 

This weekend I finally got around to removing the rudder. Turned out to be just like most of the jobs aboard Athena. Not that difficult but time-consuming as all heck ;) 

Now there is nothing standing between me and painting not only the engine compartment but also the cockpit locker. Well, that's not true I haven't sanded the cockpit locker yet but other than that... ;) 

This coming week I'll amp up my efforts in locating someone that can manufacture a diesel tank to my specs. So far I've contacted three companies, and none of them ... as in not a single on... have bothered replying to my email. Good thing I'm a pretty patient kind of guy ;) 

Have an awesome Sunday guys! :)

Sail Life - Removing the rudder from my sailboat - DIY sailboat repair

In this video, I drop (remove) the rudder aboard Athena. Surprisingly the rudder from a 38 ft sailboat is heavy - very heavy! *** Links *** Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter Sail Life Shop US: (Use this if you want items shipped from the US) https://shop.spreadshirt.com/saillife/ Sail Life Shop EU: (Use this if you want items shipped from Europe) https://shop.spreadshirt.dk/saildotlife/ Donations for the sandpaper fund: https://www.paypal.me/saillife

That rudder might weight 100kg. I’m absolutely certain you’ve thought of this already, but just in case: For moving the rudder maybe think about a block and tackle to lift it, put it on piece of plywood on a cart to move it and another piece of plywood to slide it into your car. And if it starts to fall, just get out of the way. The physics of something that heavy in motion are impressive. Be sure tie it down when driving around with it. Stay safe and great video.

I’m going to make a suggestion for rudder modification; look into Torquedo rudders and what the future will be evolving into. In marina maneuvering all you need is trust applied to exactly your needs. I’m not sure if it includes regeneration for under way battery charging but that would be free power underway.
