What this video covers

Marina and Michel, hosts of the MotionMe channel, visit Luanda, Paraná, to assist Ângelo and Carol of Together in the Oceans with the aluminum hull construction of their catamaran.0:19 The project involves identifying and repairing weld porosity in the hull plates to ensure watertight integrity.3:57 The process requires grinding out identified pinholes, cleaning the aluminum surface thoroughly, and re-welding the spots.3:57 Because low ambient temperatures and high humidity cause moisture to collect on the metal, the team uses a torch to pre-heat the aluminum plates to approximately 22 degrees Celsius before welding.3:50 The construction site also features the Little Nomad, a small tender designed for the Kiribati 36 sailboat.5:18 While the hull work continues, Marina and Carol attend an aerial silk dance class, a skill Marina intends to practice on the mast of her future catamaran.8:08 The work on the aluminum hull remains ongoing as the team manages environmental variables to maintain weld quality.
