What this video covers

The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform structural repairs on the vessel’s bow and sail drive assemblies during a 58-day haul-out.▶ 0:00 After discovering moisture ingress in the forward crash box, the owner cuts into the hull to inspect the internal wooden bulkheads and structural stringers.▶ 0:46 While the wood shows superficial damage, the primary structural components remain sound.▶ 11:54 The repair process involves removing damaged bulkhead sections, reinforcing the area with new wood, and applying fiberglass lamination to ensure future watertight integrity.▶ 3:08 Separately, the crew completes the installation of sail drive seals.▶ 25:21 They encounter difficulty removing a specific component on the starboard side but successfully install the seals on both sides by leaving the obstruction in place.▶ 25:07 The team also applies epoxy primer to the sail drive units, opting to keep a protective coating intact rather than stripping it to bare metal.▶ 13:31 Additionally, the crew repaints the forward crossbeam white to prevent overheating in direct sunlight, noting that a black finish would be too hot for crew members to step on during sail handling.▶ 39:15
