Qué cubre este vídeo

The host of Wildling Sailing performs a structural refit on a catamaran in a boatyard to repair water-damaged daggerboard slots and hull-to-deck joints.5:09 After discovering rot in plywood stringers and structural voids caused by years of water ingress, the host excavates the damaged areas, removes rotten wood, and replaces it with new exterior-grade plywood and closed-cell XPS foam insulation.4:10 The repair process involves creating cardboard templates for precise wood cuts, bonding components with West System epoxy and colloidal silica, and sealing the joints with fiberglass to ensure a watertight finish.15:54 While shoring up the hull, the host identifies two points of deformation on the port bow and starboard stern, which are stabilized with wooden wedges to prevent further structural stress while the boat sits on the hard.9:54 The project requires extensive sanding, fairing, and structural reinforcement to address previous inadequate epoxy-only repairs. The host manages the work in high temperatures, utilizing both fast and slow-setting hardeners to control curing times during the lamination process.23:29
