The crew of Parlay Revival repairs a damaged wooden skiff in the Hermit Islands, Papua New Guinea, by grinding away rotted fiberglass from the transom and reinforcing the structure with thickened epoxy and five layers of biaxial glass.7:39 After the repair cures, they test the skiff with a 60-horsepower outboard motor to ensure the transom can withstand the engine's torque.12:45 The crew also assists a local resident, Robert, in constructing a traditional six-meter sailing canoe by using power tools to drill holes for wooden dowels and applying epoxy to seal hull joints.5:24 Because the local community lacks consistent power, the crew gifts their electric drill to Robert to assist with his ongoing boat-building projects.18:51 The visit concludes with the crew hosting local residents aboard Parlay Revival to watch a rugby league match.21:12 Using high-quality epoxy and proper fiberglass application techniques significantly increases the structural integrity of repairs on wooden hulls in tropical environments.
