Qué cubre este vídeo
Peter and Sabina perform structural modifications on their boat, Squib, focusing on installing forward roof support struts and finalizing the rub rail. To support the roof, they fabricate and mount stainless steel tubes, using existing hardware from an old sunshade to save costs.9:33 Because the vessel’s hull is not perfectly symmetrical—with the port side deck measuring 18 mm wider than the starboard—the crew prioritizes visual alignment over precise millimeter measurements when positioning the struts.11:54 They reinforce the mounting points from the interior using custom-fitted wooden backing plates, which are bonded in place with epoxy mixed with wood dust and Aerosil.17:11 The process involves drilling through-holes, cleaning surfaces with acetone, and using butyl tape for sealing washers.0:48 Additionally, the crew completes the installation of the rub rail, filling gaps with epoxy and ensuring the final fit is secure.16:11 The project requires iterative adjustments to the wooden supports and hardware to ensure the roof structure remains rigid and parallel to the rail.
