What this video covers

Construction of a 52-foot custom sailboat interior focuses on hull-side insulation, teak paneling, and electrical routing. Johan and Malin install watertight cable transits from Rockstech through the bulkhead to manage wiring between compartments.3:08 To prevent future leaks, they reinforce stanchion bases by gluing and tabbing solid glass into the hull, later drilling these to mount duplex steel rods that eliminate the need for through-deck bolts.13:41 The interior hull sides receive strips of old-growth Burmese teak, ripped on a table saw using a thin-kerf blade to minimize waste.10:31 These strips will feature a matte varnish finish and be secured with plugged screws.19:52 Before finalizing the teak installation, the crew installs PVC and flexible conduits for AC/DC power and lighting, alongside acid-proof stainless steel cable trays.16:04 They plan to finish bulkheads with vinyl wall coverings to reduce sound reflection and minimize the need for extensive fairing.21:48
