What this video covers

The crew of MJ Sailing continues the cockpit refit by replacing temporary support stands with custom-fitted 2x4 beams, which will eventually be swapped for 3-inch square aluminium tubing.0:57 Matt cuts pockets into the cored cabin top to accommodate the new supports, ensuring the load transfers directly onto the bulkhead.1:43 To maintain structural integrity, he plans to re-glass the interior of the cut sections.11:25 Simultaneously, the team applies Alex Seal Super Build primer to the cockpit doors.5:55 After troubleshooting a spray gun issue, they achieve a smooth finish on the doors, which are designed to slide into recessed pockets.6:13 The project also involves levelling the new supports to ensure proper drainage toward the stern.15:48 For off-grid power during the refit, the team utilises an EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus, which provides 1024 watt-hours of capacity and supports multiple charging inputs.5:23
