What this video covers
The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform structural repairs on the boat’s mast beam while hauled out at a shipyard in Tyrelbae.0:05 The project involves rebuilding the beam’s internal structure, including the installation of a new anchor roller housing.5:53 To ensure structural integrity, the crew reinforces the beam with plywood and fiberglass, using peel ply to minimize post-curing sanding.11:45 During the process, the team encounters a setback when temporary sawhorses collapse under the weight of the materials, necessitating the addition of structural bracing.10:45 The repair requires precise fitting of gutters and fiberglass layers to protect the bow area from chain and anchor abrasion.21:11 The owners opt to support the rig with halyards rather than unstepping the mast, as internal inspections confirm the mast step area remains sound.30:48 The work is part of a larger, multi-day restoration effort to address structural issues discovered after purchase.40:11
