What this video covers

Djé and Nad, owners of the catamaran *Mister Tong*, prepare for a series of structural repairs and upgrades while anchored near Sainte-Anne, Martinique. The crew relocates from Petit Anse des Salines to Sainte-Anne to facilitate a three-day car rental, allowing them to source materials for boat maintenance and collect a new Alpower battery.7:36

The primary structural project involves reinforcing the chainplate supports.10:00 Djé purchases 6-meter galvanized steel angle bars, 8mm thick, to replace and extend the existing interior supports.24:30 He plans to cut these bars to size and install them with additional backing wood to distribute the load more effectively across the hull structure.23:30 The crew also acquires materials for trampoline repairs and various cabin upgrades.22:30 Despite the weight of the galvanized steel, Djé prioritizes structural integrity over weight savings, noting that the cost is significantly lower than using carbon fiber or epoxy alternatives.25:48 The crew intends to complete these repairs before moving the vessel toward Trois-Îlets.9:41
