The owners of a wooden catamaran are rebuilding the vessel's stern skirts to prevent water intrusion and structural rot. After completing the starboard skirt, the crew begins work on the port side, using 15mm plywood reinforced with five layers of 450g fiberglass and epoxy resin.1:05 The project involves cutting away damaged sections of the original structure, installing new internal bulkheads and support cleats, and sealing the wood to ensure a watertight finish.15:24 The owners note that the original skirts suffered from delamination and wood decay due to repeated impacts from the dinghy and water exposure.2:42 By re-engineering the skirts with thicker fiberglass laminates, they aim to increase impact resistance and eliminate potential water traps.2:46 The team optimizes their workflow by dry-fitting all components before bonding, which allows them to complete the assembly in a single phase.23:03 They confirm that these modifications to the above-waterline structure do not compromise the vessel's integrity or sailing performance.38:08
