What this video covers

The crew of the aluminium catamaran SV Delos installs interior finishes and plumbing systems for the port and starboard heads. To create a durable, moisture-resistant finish, they apply Sketch veneer—a concrete slurry on a backing—over PVC foam board substrates, using structural adhesive and sealant.2:34 The team bends the panels by heating them to achieve precise curves within the small compartments.3:56 The electrical and plumbing installation includes testing the NMEA 2000 backbone to control fresh water and grey water pumps.8:19 Brian and Bill verify the water tank selection valves and prime the fresh water pump to pressurise the system.12:18 Kaz customises a vanity mirror by sanding the backing with 2000-grit sandpaper and applying frosting spray to create a backlit effect.15:06 The team performs a leak test on the marine toilet, which utilises a macerator to process waste into a holding tank.20:14 The system allows for switching between fresh and salt water flushing.18:28 Successful integration of the electrical and water systems confirms the functionality of the pumps and valves before final interior assembly.12:18
