Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the wooden sailboat Yabá installs custom pilothouse windows using a multi-step sealing process involving Sika primer and Sikaflex.8:06 After measuring templates and ordering wood, the team uses a table router at a local shipyard to cut precise grooves into the window frames to ensure a flush fit.10:48 The installation procedure requires drilling drainage holes in the bottom framing to prevent water traps and rot.22:25 During the process, one of three glass panes cracks during transport, forcing the crew to install a temporary plywood placeholder for the middle window.18:38 Additional work includes relocating the cockpit table 10 centimeters to improve deck access and applying multiple layers of varnish to the wooden frames.5:31 The team also continues fiberglassing the roof, though they pause the work to await a new shipment of epoxy.13:54 The windows are mechanically fastened with screws to allow for future adjustments or removal.28:49
