Acorn To Arabella · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The construction of the wooden boat *Arabella* reaches several milestones, including hull fairing, watermaker installation, and sail production. Volunteers sanded the hull to 120 grit on the top strakes and 80 grit on the bottom strakes to prepare for painting.9:42 The crew installed a watermaker system in the head, mounting components like a high-pressure booster pump, a five-micron filter, and a gas-charged bladder accumulator onto wood panels bonded to the bulkheads with adhesive rather than through-bolts to avoid electrical interference.3:02 RJ, the ship manager for the *Schooner Amistad*, applied copper plating to the stern to mitigate marine growth.5:31 Meanwhile, at Doyle Sails in Salem, Massachusetts, technicians used a 60-foot table to nest and cut panels for the mainsail from 8.47-ounce recycled polyester cloth, following a design by Robbie Doyle.18:13 The process involves aligning panels to the cloth's weave and adding adhesive-backed Dacron patches for reinforcement at high-stress points.25:58
