Qué cubre este vídeo

Structural repairs on the catamaran Mistertong focus on reinforcing the bow sections and compression beam mounting points. After discovering rot and ovalized holes in the port-side bow, the owner fabricates a new plywood backing plate to restore structural integrity. The repair process involves scarfing in new wood, filling voids with thickened epoxy, and laminating with biaxial fabric. On the starboard side, the owner completes the installation of a backing plate, using peel ply to achieve a clean, ready-to-bond surface that minimizes the need for sanding. The work requires precise alignment of mounting holes for the compression beam, which supports the forestay and trampoline. During the project, the crew visits Le Marin, Martinique, to source hardware, including longer bolts that require trimming to fit. The owner emphasizes the necessity of dry-fitting components before final bonding to avoid alignment errors. The project concludes with the realization that thorough structural remediation is essential for long-term vessel safety.
