What this video covers
Djé and Nad continue structural repairs on the forward crossbeam of their Outremer catamaran, focusing on removing damaged sections and reinforcing the nacelle area.▶ 0:27 After identifying rot in the original wood structure, they are stripping away compromised material, sanding, and applying epoxy and fiberglass to rebuild the mounting points for the trampoline and forestay.▶ 0:00 The repair process involves creating custom fiberglass hinges for deck lockers to eliminate the need for mechanical fasteners, which they believe will prevent future water intrusion and structural failure.▶ 6:06 The crew works under the nacelle, managing significant fiberglass dust and coordinating tasks like sanding, filling, and applying epoxy primer.▶ 29:30 They plan to install trampoline attachments by bonding them directly to the new laminate.▶ 0:56 Despite the labor-intensive nature of the project and the physical toll of working in confined spaces, they report progress on the structural integrity of the forward beam. They emphasize that the new construction is significantly stronger than the original, which had suffered from water damage and rot around the metal fittings.▶ 48:08
