After hitting a log while sailing at high speed I had plenty of repairs to get done. This is part 2 of 3 of my repair series in Sorong.
In this video I mainly work on getting the bent rudder straight. After the local guys attempted but failed to get the shaft straight I found a bodgy way to get the job done.
Never give up!
Blood, sweat, tears and swearing.
Enjoy(more than me)
