⛵Sailing Britaly⛵ brings you the sailing shenanigans of Chris (British), Rossella (Italian), and baby Emma (Britalian!) Our mission is to help YOU achieve YOUR cruising dreams, while working for a better world.
…Continued from above: The reality is that the biggest cause of boats sinking (sail and power) is nothing as dramatic as the reasons above. The majority of boats that sink do so whilst tied up at their slip (or on their mooring), and a large proportion of these boats sink because of problems with through-hull assemblies (aka seacocks) and associated plumbing.
Do you want to replace your own seacocks? If so, check out this video: DIY Seacock Replacement (Long Version) https://youtu.be/9bV1rqqvw-k
