The crew of the 50-year-old sailboat Uma performs a major structural refit, focusing on the installation of the final large bulkhead to define the new head and shower layout.2:05 To ensure the bulkhead remains straight during installation, the crew uses temporary wood bracing and a laser level to correct a slight bow in the panel before bonding it to the hull.10:33 They apply fiberglass layers to both sides of the bulkhead, sandwiching it with wood supports to maintain alignment while the resin cures.3:28 During the process, the crew tests an electric rotary cutter—referred to as a "pizza cutter"—to slice through multiple layers of biaxial fiberglass fabric, finding it significantly more efficient and less physically taxing than manual metal shears.15:28 The installation involves a multi-step process of wetting out fiberglass fabric on a plastic-lined surface in the galley before passing the material to the installation area for bonding.19:54 The crew plans to finish the remaining perimeter glassing after the initial structural bonds cure and the bracing is removed.19:42
