Nova Loman constructs a custom fiberglass hardtop for her sailboat to replace a deteriorating soft dodger.0:01 She builds a temporary mold frame using thin boards and joists, working intermittently in a boatyard workshop while contending with rain and 30-knot winds.8:08 To ensure the fiberglass does not adhere to the wooden mold, she wraps the structure in thick plastic sheeting.13:13 She tests the release properties of this plastic by curing a small batch of polyester resin on a sample piece, confirming the material peels away cleanly.14:50 Loman plans to use a textile-based composite material for the hardtop, opting to glass the structure in two sections—the front window area and the arch—to achieve a smoother finish on the plastic-wrapped mold.19:17 She intends to join these sections after removing them from the frame.19:17 The project remains ongoing as she prepares to apply the fiberglass layer.
