What this video covers

The construction of the aluminium catamaran Delos Two progresses with the permanent installation of cabin flooring and the integration of interior cabinetry. The crew glues the flooring using a priming and adhesive procedure to ensure structural rigidity.▶ 1:27 Professional cabinet makers utilise physical templates made of thin wood strips to account for the boat’s complex curves and angles, ensuring a precise fit before digitising the designs into CAD for fabrication.▶ 5:47 These custom panels, including a structural "chamfer panel" that serves as a base for future cabinetry, are dry-fitted, finished, and then permanently bonded to the hull.▶ 16:49 Simultaneously, the crew installs extensive electrical infrastructure, pulling over a kilometre of wire for AC outlets, LED lighting, and DC junction boxes.▶ 7:54 They route these cables through 40mm conduits, utilising pull strings for future capacity.▶ 14:12 The climate control system features five hydronic fan-coil units, which circulate a water-antifreeze mixture to provide heating and cooling.▶ 10:19 The crew plans to insulate these lines with closed-cell foam tape only after completing a successful leak test.▶ 11:41 Proper planning and accurate templating are essential for fitting custom cabinetry into a curved aluminium hull.
