Qué cubre este vídeo

The refit of the Magic Carpet involves a structural assessment of the vessel's wooden deck beams, which show significant water damage and rot.0:13 To inspect the beams, the crew removed the plywood decking and the wooden blocking situated between the beams.8:51 The removal process required using a chisel, hammer, and an oscillating multitool to clear away fiberglass matting and debris.4:46 After exposing the beams, the owners determined that epoxy treatment is insufficient for structural repair because the wood fibers, which provide longitudinal strength, have degraded beyond recovery.22:21 Consequently, the project scope has expanded to include the replacement of the most severely damaged deck beams.20:55 Additionally, the crew removed a stainless steel bowsprit fitting to have a replacement fabricated from bronze, citing the risk of crevice corrosion in oxygen-starved, laminated areas.2:43 The crew plans to continue the refit by replacing the compromised beams while the bulwarks remain disassembled, ensuring the structural integrity of the hull before rebuilding.30:22
