(🇫🇷 Juste en dessous) At the boatyard we were, at the boatyard we are still. Last week (to see in this episode: https://youtu.be/9SNgUGdx1b4), we started to scratch the hull to bare it and we removed the rudder wick which was well stuck.

Believe it or not, this ONE TINY little hose clamp is all that’s keeping our boat from potentially sinking to the bottom. It’s part of our centerboard operation, and unfortunately there’s not much we can do to improve it, except to ensure the clamps ...
