A good emergency plan is to have a hole ready drilled close to the rear edge of the rudder, so that you can attach the lines. Not sure how you managed it, not easy otherwise
I went through the Kiel Canal in 1984. I reached out my hand and touched East Germany. Just before we got into the canal, we had just went through the tail end of the perfect storm that Hollywood made a movie about. The actual storm that I saw was much worse than what Hollywood showed in the movie. We got hammered by the storm for 3 1/2 days. A floating oil island capsized and then a cargo ship of some sort ran aground trying to make harbor and broke apart. We were headed West from Leningrad, Russia when we hit the storm.
Should have had a cat 2 rudders LOL well done , Needs tangs welded om the rudder bars from the shaft ., Must have been some movement for awhile for those bars to crack
What ?! The rudder was circling around it’s own axe !!! Wow. Some quality issue with this Shipyard … good design for the hulls but… anyway you fixed it 💪!
@@sailoceans Wow! Did JEFA make any comments? This welding is a standard process for them, and one of the best in the industry, or perhaps is that a structural design fault ??
You can still control your boat sailing upwind without a rudder but it's difficult to do on a large boat. I haven't tried it going downwind. I tried it on a Laser.
Talk about timing.. 😬....that's like bad news good news, bad bad news ....sorta good news 😂 On a serious note i can see why you would want to add electric motors to the Amas .. power steering becomes a real possibility. As an alternative to a drag drogue steering .🤔⛵
Great video. Really interesting. Unlike everyone swanning around the Bahamas and SE Asia this is pretty hardcore.
Great temporary solution. Brilliant work.

Impressive solutions.

That's exactly right. You'll see evidence of that in coming episodes. Cheers mate. Bartek
"15" minutes. Dame Blanche. A celebrating dessert of the geography. Nice touch, intended or not.

It was welding issue with rudder manufacturer

As it turned out we've sailed virtually without rudder control for a while. On beam reach the boat is quite course stable. Cheers mate. Bartek
What a great video I wish to do that one day. Hey what is that wet weather gear you are wearing Hornet?? Looks really good.
Yes, it's a new manufacturer from Poland and it's really nice.

Ooops 🤣
those Germans very particular about the Flag thing, are exactly the same type of Germans, it's fine to piss off by raising it upside down ;)
