What this video covers
Djé and Nad perform structural repairs on the forward deck and bow area of their Outremer catamaran while hauled out at a boatyard. The primary task involves bonding a large, custom-fabricated composite panel to the forward beam and drum assembly, requiring precise alignment and subsequent fiberglass reinforcement.▶ 1:48 After securing the panel, the crew grinds down excess material, fills imperfections with filler, and prepares the surfaces for final lamination.▶ 10:53 The project also includes installing drainage deflectors and repairing damaged wood sections discovered during the removal of hardware.▶ 39:11 Additionally, the crew flushes the engines using a 20-liter bucket and a hose connected to the saildrive intake to prevent salt corrosion, a maintenance routine they plan to repeat every two weeks.▶ 6:56 The work continues with ongoing structural assessments of the bow and trampoline supports to ensure the integrity of the vessel's forward section.
