Here we go, again… Part 2 of the rudder saga. Changing in the water #circumnavigation #diy

Remember the bearing we replaced in Vigo — the one we hoped would stop the squeaking and remove the play? Yeah… it didn’t.

And when we finally dug into it again, we realised the brand new €500 bearing missed 0,5-1 mm.
Which coursed the same noise, same play and same headache.

So we secured the rudder (yes, again… in the water), tapped the old bearing back in and found a shipyard in Lagos who could actually help us.

Luckily, a yard took us in and made a new custom bearing in just one day.
A VERY snug fit — but that’s what we wanted.

Now the big question is:
Will this actually solve the problem?
…or are we heading into Part 3? 👀

👉 What do you think — fixed or not fixed?
