Acorn To Arabella · βίντεο

Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

To replace a broken mizzen boom on the wooden boat *Arabella*, the crew selects two 14-foot 2x6 Douglas fir boards from a local lumberyard.9:02 They prioritize vertical-grain lumber with tight growth rings to ensure structural stability and clear wood to avoid knots and sapwood.10:35 The project involves laminating the two boards together using epoxy.9:14 To prepare the surfaces for bonding, they use a toothing blade to create a textured finish, then apply a thin coat of epoxy before clamping the boards.12:30

Separately, the crew addresses poor galley ventilation that triggers smoke and carbon monoxide detectors during winter cooking.0:39 They install a 3-inch inline bilge blower near the existing stove pipe vent to exhaust fumes.1:38 Initial testing reveals that the blower creates enough negative pressure to reverse the draft on the boat’s diesel heater, causing it to smoke.3:16 Cracking a porthole to provide an air inlet resolves the pressure imbalance and allows the ventilation system to function without affecting the heater.3:38
