What this video covers

Sven Yrvind repurposes five broken hockey sticks as grab rails for his small boat construction project.▶ 0:02 He mounts the sticks to the deck, noting their high strength-to-weight ratio and ergonomic shape for handholds.▶ 0:51 To install the rails while the boat is inverted, he drills rectangular holes through the composite hull, which is reinforced with Vinicel.▶ 0:43 Accessing the underside of the hull remains difficult due to the boat's low clearance and the presence of bilge keels.▶ 2:06 Yrvind utilizes the ends of the hull to gain better access for the installation.▶ 2:26 The project demonstrates a method for sourcing lightweight, durable hardware from salvaged sports equipment.
