Sailing Yabá · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of Yabá performs extensive hull and pilot house roof restoration while hauled out at a shipyard in Brazil. Work focuses on fairing and priming the exterior surfaces to prepare for a final polyurethane paint application. To achieve a smooth finish on the pilot house roof, the team applies a black fairing compound, which highlights surface imperfections during sanding.6:04 They use large sanding planks to level the roof, followed by a gray primer to identify remaining low spots.10:12 The project also includes constructing a waterproof mast foot using marine-grade plywood, which is epoxied and sealed to prevent water ingress.20:02 Painting progress is frequently delayed by high humidity and an approaching cyclone, forcing the crew to monitor weather conditions and pause work during rain.16:37 The team prioritizes achieving a durable, smooth finish over rushing the process, accepting that minor imperfections are inevitable in a DIY restoration.18:10
