What this video covers

The crew of the Lagoon 450 catamaran Parlay Revival repairs structural damage to the bow forepeaks after the deck-to-hull joint failed under spinnaker load.0:03 While grinding the starboard side, the owner discovers water-saturated open-cell foam and delaminated fiberglass extending aft from the bow, caused by a compromised hull-to-deck seal.6:32 To prevent further rot, the crew removes the wet foam and damaged fiberglass until reaching dry core, then reinforces the area by tabbing the deck to the hull with epoxy and multiple layers of biaxial glass.12:04 The repair includes creating a structural backing plate for the pad eye mounting point to prevent future pull-out.14:56 The crew uses a similar process on the port side, which requires less extensive remediation.22:21 To manage dust and fumes during the grinding and fiberglassing process, the boat is moored stern-to, allowing the bow to hang downwind of other vessels.1:47 The repair creates a structural bond between the bulkhead, hull, and deck that exceeds the strength of the original factory construction.23:05
