What this video covers

Edgar and Davi rebuild the companionway entrance on their boat to prevent water ingress.Watch The original flush-mounted, flat hatch design failed during rain, allowing water to leak through the temporary plywood joints and overwhelm the drainage channels.Watch To resolve this, the crew constructs a raised, rounded fiberglass hatch cover designed to shed water into the tracks.0:43 They reinforce the structure by laminating layers of fiberglass mat and fabric over a base of resin and fiber-dust putty.3:54 The team builds up the height of the entrance frame to ensure a watertight seal, incorporating a rail system for the sliding hatch.0:40 After securing the new fiberglass components, they apply a filler of talc and fiber dust to smooth the surface for final sanding and painting.6:30 The modified design successfully integrates with the existing LED lighting tracks and provides a more robust, elevated barrier against the elements.8:39
