Qué cubre este vídeo
The owners of a catamaran perform structural reinforcements on the vessel’s deck hardware, specifically focusing on the stanchion bases and chainplate backing plates. To address potential water intrusion and structural weakness, the crew fabricates custom wooden backing plates to distribute loads more effectively. They use epoxy to bond these plates to the interior hull structure, ensuring a robust connection for the stanchions and chainplates. During the installation, the owner drills pilot holes from the interior to the exterior to ensure precise alignment and minimize splintering of the wood.20:05 The project involves removing interior trim to access the mounting points and applying epoxy-based fasteners to secure the hardware. The owner also considers adding additional fiberglass or polyester layers to further protect the wood from moisture. These modifications aim to improve the structural integrity of the deck fittings compared to the original factory installation, which relied on smaller screws. The work is conducted while the boat is at anchor in the south of Martinique.5:17
