Sailing Squib · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the sailboat Squib performs several interior and exterior refit projects, focusing on storage, drainage, and equipment mounting. They install a custom cabinet for an amateur radio unit in the aft cabin, securing it with both screws and thickened epoxy. To prevent water from dripping into cockpit lockers, they mount a rain gutter along the cabin roof, creating a slight slope toward both port and starboard to ensure drainage. The project also includes fabricating a platform extension for the toilet, which involves laminating a cover and grinding the surrounding gelcoat to prepare for epoxy bonding. During the installation of a new shelf in the forward cabin, the crew discovers that the board obstructs the removal of a window, prompting plans to modify the plexiglass pane with a hinge. The work requires precise sanding, filling gaps with epoxy, and waiting for low-temperature curing cycles.
