What this video covers
Djé and Nad, owners of the catamaran Mistertong, perform a deep cleaning and reorganization of the boat’s forward cabin, which serves as an onboard workshop.1:22 The project involves sorting through accumulated spare parts, engine maintenance records, and hardware to improve accessibility.2:52 During the cleanup, the crew discovers large marine life lingering beneath the hull near the rudder, which they disturb while maneuvering the dinghy.0:49
To improve structural integrity and aesthetics, Djé repairs the mounting points for the boat's stanchions and lifelines.17:01 He drills 30mm holes into the deck structure to install custom Dyneema inserts, which he secures using epoxy resin.14:18 He applies primer to the surrounding area to finish the repair, noting that the process requires careful volume management of the resin to prevent overheating in the confined holes.19:39 Additionally, the crew acquires a new kitchen robot to assist with food preparation and plans to clean the vessel's fenders.8:06 The work confirms that the previous water damage in the forward compartments was caused by internal leaks rather than structural failure of the hull laminate.12:14
