What this video covers
The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform structural repairs and modifications to the boat’s cockpit and anchor roller assembly while hauled out for the season. The primary issue involves the anchor roller, which prevents the anchor from deploying correctly because the chain fouls on the beam.▶ 2:14 To resolve this, the owners plan to cut a U-shaped notch into the beam to provide clearance.▶ 2:37 They reinforce the surrounding area with fiberglass and epoxy, noting that the structure is armored with Kevlar, which complicates the modification.▶ 3:37 Additionally, the crew drills new holes for lifelines, sealing them with epoxy inserts and planning to use Dyneema lines instead of traditional metal hardware.▶ 12:59 They also address drainage issues in the cockpit lockers by drilling new evacuation holes and sealing unused ones.▶ 33:55 The work proceeds in windy conditions, requiring careful application of fiberglass and peel ply.▶ 6:22 The project remains ongoing as they await permission to relaunch the vessel.▶ 42:47
