Qué cubre este vídeo
The S/V SeaSprite deck refit involves removing the top fiberglass skin to replace water-damaged balsa core and marine plywood with Divinycell foam.0:10 Workers use a router to clear rotten core material from the foredeck and coach roof, specifically targeting areas around stanchions, chain plates, and genoa tracks.1:14 Where structural penetrations occur, the team replaces the core with solid fiberglass to prevent future water intrusion.3:03 On the starboard side, the project includes boring out existing jib track bolt holes to fill them with thickened epoxy, ensuring a sealed barrier for hardware reinstallation.10:47 The refit also addresses cosmetic and structural damage to the sea hood and traveler support, which required extensive gel coat repair and reinforcement.11:33 Moisture meter readings guide the scope of work, identifying dry sections that require no intervention while highlighting areas near handrails and deck hardware that demand further attention.7:09 The project aims to complete all deck-related repairs by early summer.11:23
