Chafe

CHAFE - you might be thinking that's a narrow subject area? But when you really dig into it, chafe and chafe avoidance is so critical to life at sea where everything but everything is always moving whether you want it to or not. Chafe isn't limited to just running rigging - we also need to avoid chafe on piping, standing rigging, the deck, the interior around the moving parts like the gimbled cooker, in and around the ever vibrating engine, on our hands, clothing - it's everywhere! So join us in unpicking this topic that is so relevant to our passion and dream of bluewater sailing. -- Join us on The QUARTERDECK, 59º North's online platform where we dive deep on the art of seamanship. First two weeks free! This podcast is recorded LIVE on video on the Quarterdeck, so members can watch the show as it happens, ask questions and suggest future topics.
