What this video covers
Andy continues the interior refit by trimming and beveling fiberglass salon cabin sole panels to ensure a proper fit against the hull and keel trunk.▶ 4:50 To address unevenness where the panels meet the keel, he plans to apply Total Fair compound to level the surface, creating a flat plane for the panels to rest on without pressure points.▶ 8:44 He is also grinding the interior hull surfaces to prepare them for a barrier coat.▶ 11:01 Regarding the rig, Andy is researching Selden retrofit components to replace the existing floating gooseneck with a fixed version and raise the boom height to at least six feet for safety.▶ 11:46 He is using AI to identify compatible mast and boom fittings but is seeking real-world feedback on these parts.▶ 12:27 Additionally, he has received his new Victron electrical components and a Temco 11-ton hydraulic crimper and cable cutter for the upcoming wiring installation.▶ 14:11 Fairing the keel top will provide a stable, level foundation for the cabin sole panels to prevent squeaking.▶ 10:48
