What this video covers
Masha is restoring an abandoned sailboat in Montenegro, and this update covers the final phase of clearing out rotten and decayed interior structure after 18 months of work.0:02 She removed the galley unit in the previous episode; here she investigates the space beneath it, finding an ant colony living in a bulkhead, a holding tank, a gas water heater, a fuel tank still carrying significant fuel, and a tangle of hoses, pipes, and wiring.1:10 Both bulkheads proved rotten — one crumbled on removal, the other was in better shape but she cut it out anyway, reasoning it was the last area of rotten wood on the boat and not worth doing halfway.8:02 With the old bulkheads out, she cleaned and removed all through-hull fittings and measured them to order new Seahawks seacocks online.8:30 New bulkheads were fitted and fiberglassed to the hull.14:41 A June heat wave in Europe, with overnight temperatures around 30°C, limits work to a few hours in the morning and two in the evening.0:10 Masha also addresses missing her self-imposed May launch deadline, crediting viewer support for keeping the project moving.9:53 The practical lesson: removing a complete galley unit in one piece gives full access to hidden systems and the last rotten structure beneath.
