What this video covers

Alex and Daniela replace the cracked acrylic windows on their boat, Wayra, to stop water ingress.2:31 They remove the eight original windows to use as templates at a local fabrication shop, which cuts the new methacrylate replacements in two hours.2:41 Back at the boat, Alex manually trims the oversized panels to fit the frames, a process requiring extensive sanding and edge finishing.4:15 The installation proves difficult, forcing the crew to work late into the night under a temporary tarp to protect the interior from rain.6:09 While Alex focuses on the window refit, the pair also installs a new radio panel, a battery charge controller, and remote controls for a future induction cooktop.0:55 They also commission a foot-operated seawater pump for the galley sink.1:10 Despite the physical strain and cold weather, the crew successfully seals the aft cabin and salon windows, restoring visibility and weatherproofing the vessel for its upcoming transit to Dublin.7:16
