Qué cubre este vídeo

Sven Yrvind installs six textile padeyes inside his boat to provide additional attachment points for gear.1:30 He constructs each padeye by layering fiberglass over a loop of line, using a segment of hose to maintain the opening and prevent the epoxy from blocking the hole.0:08 To manage the cramped working conditions, he divides the lamination process into two separate sessions.1:51 He applies two layers of glass fiber on each side of the padeyes and finishes the surface with peel ply.1:43 Yrvind notes that while textile padeyes are labor-intensive to fabricate, they offer a lightweight alternative to the metal hardware and backing plates typically found on larger vessels.0:39 He also fabricates a custom handle to improve ergonomics within the confined interior space.0:51 Breaking complex tasks into smaller, manageable segments reduces physical strain when working in tight quarters.2:02
