What this video covers

Djé and Nad, owners of an Outremer catamaran, perform structural repairs on their vessel while anchored in the Caribbean. Djé prepares a scarf joint on a damaged section of the boat, using a corded angle grinder equipped with 80-grit flap discs to shape the plywood.1:25 He notes that the 80-grit discs provide efficient material removal without overheating the tool.6:35 After shaping the replacement plywood piece to match the existing scarf, he plans to bond the wood with adhesive before applying fiberglass reinforcement the following day.15:34

The couple coordinates a delivery of 12 plywood sheets, consisting of 12mm and 15mm thicknesses, to their anchorage.26:33 With assistance from a friend, they transport the lumber from a dock to the catamaran using a dinghy.24:05 Due to 20-knot wind gusts, they wrap the plywood in plastic sheeting and secure it with straps to prevent water damage from spray during transit.20:50 The project requires further material procurement from a second supplier to complete the structural repairs.25:22
