What this video covers

The owners of a catamaran complete the structural modifications to the boat's stern skirts, finalizing the fiberglass work on the transom extensions. The project involved building wooden forms to establish the angle of the transom, filling gaps with Erex foam, and applying multiple layers of fiberglass to ensure structural integrity and watertightness.1:14 To protect the hull from wave impact, the crew installed wooden cleats near the portlights, which act as buffers against incoming seas.9:17 The team also integrated custom-shaped handholds into the curves of the new skirts to improve ergonomics and safety for boarding.17:43 Throughout the process, the owners prioritized precise alignment and symmetry between the port and starboard sides, using a bubble level to maintain consistent geometry while the boat remained on the hard.1:26 The final phase of the work included sanding, fairing, and preparing the surfaces for future application of Coppercoat antifouling.27:19 By completing these modifications while the vessel was already hauled out, the owners avoided the need for an additional, costly yard period.43:21
