What this video covers
Hurricane Beryl caused significant structural damage to the catamaran, including a hull breach from a shipping container and a keel pushed into the hull.0:08 Huub is currently removing old anti-fouling paint from the hull using a manual scraper to expose the full extent of the damage for future repairs.0:33 The work involves clearing the area around the damaged keel to identify the precise location and depth of cracks in the fiberglass.1:28 The repair process requires specialized aluminum welding for the baby stay and front triangle, which is currently delayed while awaiting rigger availability in Grenada.11:37 The project is being managed by working on one hull at a time, allowing the crew to maintain a clean living space in the other hull during the restoration.4:17 Future steps include using electric tools to grind deeper into the hull to assess the structural integrity of the damaged sections.15:37
