What this video covers

Masha is restoring a Vinga 87 sailboat that suffered from years of standing water, rodent damage, and neglected maintenance.▶ 0:14 The interior renovation began with the removal of 40-year-old cabin insulation, which required extensive scraping to address thick, stubborn adhesive residue.▶ 0:57 After failing to remove the glue with various solvents and an angle grinder, she opted to seal the remaining adhesive with a thin film before applying new insulation over the top.▶ 3:35 She then used a Kärcher pressure washer to deep-clean the hull and interior surfaces.▶ 5:45 The restoration moved to the cabin sole, where she stripped away cracked gel coat to expose deep fissures in the floor.▶ 13:40 After manually chiseling out the debris, she filled the cracks with a marine-grade, non-toxic filler donated by local boatyard workers.▶ 15:29 She also cleaned and reshaped the floor timbers, applying epoxy primer to the repaired sections.▶ 17:01 The project requires a complete replacement of the boat's electrical wiring due to water and rodent damage.▶ 6:27
