Qué cubre este vídeo

Fairing the keel pocket of a custom-built hull involves applying fairing compound with a toothed spatula to create ridges, then using a custom-built sled sander—constructed from rigid oak planks—to sand the ridges down to a uniform depth.3:01 After sanding, a steel brush removes amine blush from the valleys before a final layer of fairing compound is applied to achieve a smooth surface.4:40 The hull is prepared for a barrier coat by removing dust and wiping the surface with alcohol.7:23 Eight nylon wheels, each rated for 1,400 kilograms, are selected for the strongback to facilitate the hull flip and future transport.15:09 These wheels will be mounted to the strongback using four bolts and a backing plate.18:04 Because the wheels are narrow, they require a track system for movement outside the barn; plywood and fiberglass tracks are planned for the current three-ton hull weight, while steel U-beams may be required for the finished 10-ton vessel.17:35
