What this video covers

Djé and Nad continue a major structural refit on their Outremer catamaran, focusing on the nacelle and cockpit storage areas over a three-day period. The work involves fabricating and installing new solid wood components, including structural gutters and a custom storage locker door.1:58 To ensure precise fitment of the nacelle’s forward section, the crew uses a plastic template to trace the exact shape before cutting the plywood.17:38 They employ scarf joints to maximize surface area for bonding and use 250g fiberglass cloth for structural reinforcement.2:04 The team prioritizes sealing the structure against weather, working around frequent rain squalls and high winds that reach 32–33 knots.2:44 They prepare multiple components for bonding, including pre-laminating sections that will reside inside the lockers to simplify later installation.6:32 The project remains on schedule despite the need for additional, unplanned repairs discovered during the process.30:04
