Masha is restoring a Vinga 87 sailboat that suffered from years of standing water, rodent damage, and neglected maintenance.0:14 The interior renovation began with the removal of 40-year-old cabin insulation, which required extensive scraping to address thick, stubborn adhesive residue.0:57 After failing to remove the glue with various solvents and an angle grinder, she opted to seal the remaining adhesive with a thin film before applying new insulation over the top.3:35 She then used a Kärcher pressure washer to deep-clean the hull and interior surfaces.5:45

The restoration moved to the cabin sole, where she stripped away cracked gel coat to expose deep fissures in the floor.13:40 After manually chiseling out the debris, she filled the cracks with a marine-grade, non-toxic filler donated by local boatyard workers.15:29 She also cleaned and reshaped the floor timbers, applying epoxy primer to the repaired sections.17:01 The project requires a complete replacement of the boat's electrical wiring due to water and rodent damage.6:27
