What this video covers

The refit of a Cape George Cutter 36 in Canada focuses on structural deck and hull work to prepare for a 2024 launch.0:07 The hull bottom underwent soda blasting to remove a thick, brittle layer of old anti-fouling, exposing the underlying epoxy barrier coat and preventing future blistering.2:06 Deck work involves cutting down bulwarks to establish a clean shear line, installing G10 inserts at chain plate locations to prevent foam compression, and glassing scuppers.6:54 Future mechanical and interior tasks include installing a new engine, plumbing, propane lines, and electrical systems, along with potential modifications to the head to include an enclosed shower.8:05 To facilitate this work, the crew designed and built a freestanding, temporary shed over the boat using discounted lumber and tarps sourced from a local hardware store, ensuring the structure remains independent of the hull to allow for deck and bulwark repairs.12:39
