What this video covers

A catamaran damaged by Hurricane Beryl requires extensive hull repairs after a shipping container struck the vessel, crushing the keel into the hull.0:31 Work in Port Louis, Grenada, involves stripping old anti-fouling paint down to the gelcoat to identify structural cracks and fibreglass damage.7:08 The repair process utilises P60 grit sandpaper for initial removal and P80 grit for the final anti-osmosis layer.14:21 Sourcing specialised tools like an oscillating multi-tool proves difficult due to high demand for post-hurricane repairs; local inventory at Budget Marine is limited, and importing equipment from Florida incurs significant shipping and import fees.9:25 The project requires grinding out damaged sections to reach sound fibreglass before structural restoration can begin.16:13 Beyond boat work, the crew utilises scooter rentals to navigate the island for supplies and local travel.2:22
