Time to fix the hole in our boat! We get hauled out in Noumea and spend 48 hours on the hardstand to replace two ball valves and throw another coat of antifoul on.
It’s a whirlwind but worth it to replace the ball valves which both had snapped stems with Trudesign plastic ball valves. Have a watch and leave a comment on your thoughts if you’ve ever had a similar issue with your boat.
