Qué cubre este vídeo

Johan fabricates a new bulkhead for the chain locker using a CNC router and PET foam.0:17 He designs the bulkhead to leave the bottom section open, ensuring any future leaks from the chain locker remain visible in the adjacent dry storage area rather than hidden behind foam epoxy.2:01 After cutting the panel, he confirms a precise fit against the hull, noting that the gap at the edges will be filled during the subsequent fiberglass tabbing process.6:16 The chain locker design includes a deep drop to prevent chain buildup near the windlass and provides space for a ladder and storage for spinnaker lines and fenders.6:56

Simultaneously, the crew continues laminating floor beams using a vacuum bagging process.12:07 Cold temperatures in the workspace thicken the epoxy, slowing saturation and extending the work time.12:25 To mitigate this, Johan uses an infrared heater to preheat the hull surface before applying epoxy.17:05 He prepares to laminate three additional floor beams, utilizing a vacuum pump and a series of valves to manage the process across multiple stations.9:55
