Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the sailboat Uma prepares the interior for priming by installing oak strips and reinforcing hull sections with 10mm foam.0:49 After identifying a measurement error that left mini bulkheads misaligned with the boat's centerline, the team uses a laser to verify the correct orientation and glues oak strips to the bulkheads to fill the resulting gaps.8:11 They use vinyl ester resin mixed with filler to bond the foam and wood, noting that the resin's color change upon catalysis helps distinguish pre-mixed batches.2:36 To prevent future squeaking and cracking as the hull flexes, the crew seals non-structural joints between cabinets and the hull with Sikaflex, creating a flexible buffer.19:01 They also install small drainage tubes at the base of sealed cabinets to allow moisture to reach the bilge.19:46 The project concludes with the installation of all plywood face frames and tertiary bulkheads, leaving only final sanding and fairing before the application of primer.25:23
