The refit of the 30-foot pocket catamaran *Squib* focuses on installing a 70-liter dual-zone freezer, upgrading electrical cabling, and fabricating custom rub rails.7:06 To accommodate the freezer, the crew constructs a custom plywood support structure, requiring precise templates to account for the hull's non-orthogonal geometry.1:01 The installation includes a dedicated, enclosed space for a 40-cm-wide holding tank, positioned to maintain passage width in the cabin.1:07 Electrical upgrades involve replacing undersized, overheating fan wiring with 50-square-millimeter cables, which are routed through newly installed conduits to avoid the bilge.14:11 Additionally, the crew fabricates new rub rails by laminating two layers of Okoume strips, using clamps to match the hull's curvature, and repurposes old teak grating into a cockpit table.10:53 The project also includes cutting a new mounting panel for electrical switches and laminating a bulkhead hole to seal the interior.12:33 Proper template-making and the use of waterproof plywood are essential for structural modifications in irregular boat spaces.3:40
