Qué cubre este vídeo
Garrett and Ruth continue the refit of their boat, Rediviva, by cutting a new aft lazarette hatch to improve storage access and planning the construction of a pilot house. The new hatch, sized to accommodate a table saw, requires careful framing around existing bulwark stanchions to maintain structural integrity.1:40 The couple also designs a pilot house that will house navigation electronics and provide standing headroom without obstructing the mainsail sheet or the steering position.15:18 To prepare the deck for fiberglassing, Garrett removes old handrails and strips remaining planking, while Ruth manages weather protection by tarping the decks ahead of forecasted rain.19:06 Additionally, Garrett attempts to replace the cutlass bearing by removing the propeller and housing, though initial efforts to press out the bearing using a truck jack and wedges prove difficult.24:15 The project remains on a strict timeline for relaunch, with the crew balancing structural deck work, cabin top modifications, and mechanical maintenance.
