What parts of a sailboat can you work on in the house?

yachting
Lleh asked:


I know this sonds crazy but I need if for a scene in a play. The people are restoring an old sailing yacht outside and a storm comes up. Nobody wants to quit working so they grab things and bring them into the banquet room of the mansion. The effect should be shocking as in Oh my god you can’t bring THAT into the dining room. A whole mast would probably be to big but other than that, anything that can be worked on separate from the boat would be good. Maybe part of the engine. Maybe something that needs to be sanded or painted. Suggestions?
Gad. Where’s Nyctugcapt or Scienceteacher when I need them?

    Anything that fits, if it dosent fit knock down your house rebuild and make it fit

    Some shives/ blocks to grease, rudder or wheel that needs revarnishing, lines to whip and check for wear, oars to sand down, a sail to patch…

    The ships wheel can come off very easily and can be sanded, varnished, polished.
    You can rebuild a wench.
    Tiller or rudder comes off.(no tiller is you have a wheel)
    You can work on lines, whipping lines, make a monkeys head on the end, any kind of rope work.,splicing lines
    How big is the stage?
    Bring a dinghy on stage.

    I would definitely bring sails. They can be huge and amusing and you can hang them on the light fixtures while you work on them on the table. Add a rudder, maybe a hatch…. Have fun!
