What this video covers

Refitting the head compartment on Yacht Zora involves installing a salvaged holding tank behind the engine room, constructing a wet room shower, and framing new bulkheads.0:44 The holding tank sits on a custom bracket, with rubber vibration dampening planned between the steel and stainless steel components.2:44 The layout includes a shower tray with a sump pump, an access hatch for plumbing and water heater maintenance, and plywood paneling that will eventually be fiberglassed.1:55 To ensure a precise fit for the fiberglass work, templates are created from 6mm plywood, with panels trimmed to match the overhead and bulkhead geometry.5:04 Due to cold weather and high winds, interior fiberglassing is paused in favor of finishing galley doors and drawers.11:26 These Iroko components are sanded with 100-grit paper, cleaned with methylated spirits, and treated with a two-step Owatrol D1 saturating oil and D2 varnish process.12:01
