Steering & Skeg Repairs | Night Photography | Sailboat Maintenance Ep 373 (4K)
Before we return to the boat yard for steering and skeg repairs, we take a short break in Jakarta. Cities always provide inspiration for Jamie's images, and when they are lit up at night it's time for a little night photography...

Steering & Skeg Repairs | Night Photography | Sailboat Maintenance Ep 373 (4K)
Followtheboat’s latest episode takes viewers on an exciting journey to Jakarta, Indonesia, where they encounter various challenges in their sailboat maintenance projects. The episode seamlessly combines boat repair work with a visually captivating night photography adventure.
Episode Summary
The crew of Followtheboat returns to Indonesia, reuniting with their talented boat repair specialist, Hendro. They start working on the crucial steering system of the sailboat in Jakarta. This bustling city known for its vibrant culture and modern appeal offers an unexpected yet ideal location for this nautical work.
Steering & Skeg Repairs
One of the primary focuses in this episode is repairing the sailboat’s steering mechanism. The crew faces a challenge when one of the legs of the block pulley system breaks during removal for new cable installation. To fix this, Hendro welds a new leg and installs two new bearings within the pulley to ensure smooth operation.
Skeg Repairs
The team also continues work on the skeg of the sailboat. The skeg needs repairs and reinforcement, specifically around where the bronze shoe is fixed to ensure proper stability when sailing. To rebuild this area, the crew uses micro balloons mixed with epoxy resin for its easy sanding qualities.
Night Photography in Jakarta
Amidst their work, Jamie finds time to indulge in night photography around Fatahillah Square. This area of Jakarta comes alive at night and presents a perfect backdrop for capturing stunning shots with his camera.
Looking Ahead
As the crew nears completion of these repairs, they remain hopeful that they will be able to put their sailboat back in the water within a week. Despite dealing with unforeseen challenges like jet lag and local noise pollution, they manage to make Jakarta work for their sailboat maintenance requirements.
Exploring Indonesia
The team also takes advantage of being in a new location by exploring nearby areas. Jamie goes on early morning walks along Madan’s Beach, utilizing his newly acquired secondhand camera to capture the beauty around him.
Future Episodes
This sailboat maintenance adventure continues with plans for upcoming episodes focusing on Lizzie’s shell photography project, further boat restoration processes, and exploring new destinations around Indonesia. Followtheboat promises to deliver more intriguing insights and valuable lessons as they navigate through their marine adventures.
