The refit of the vessel Squib involves installing a copper gas line, modifying the galley countertop, and finishing cockpit surfaces. To route the gas line, the crew bends 10mm copper tubing to pass through a bulkhead and connect to a remote shut-off valve.1:03 The installation requires precise U-bends to clear structural obstacles, with the crew using specialized copper-bending tools.2:54 In the galley, a misaligned wall causes the countertop to overlap by several millimeters, preventing the gimbaled stove from swinging freely.5:06 The crew trims the countertop and removes an epoxy-bonded trim strip to create necessary clearance.6:23 Additionally, the crew reinforces laminated bulkheads by drilling reference holes and bolting them from below.7:30 Cockpit work includes sanding and fairing the rear bulkhead and door fittings using a Makita 50-30 angle grinder.12:13 The crew also organizes the salon to manage tools and materials, while continuing to fair a mounting bracket for an electric outboard motor.14:48 Future tasks include positioning the diesel tank and locating a missing bulkhead fitting.15:32
