Qué cubre este vídeo

A project catamaran undergoes final preparation for a launch, including raising the waterline by 10cm, sanding the hull, and applying epoxy primer and hard anti-fouling paint.1:06 The owner uses yellow masking tape for exterior work, noting that cheaper alternatives fail to hold up to moisture and sun.1:32 After degreasing surfaces with acetone, the owner applies paint to the hull and a structural beam, discovering that failing to prepare a surface leads to bubbling and poor adhesion.8:38 The beam requires planing to fit into its mounting slot, and the owner secures it with 8mm pre-stretched polyester lashing rope following design plans.20:14 Rudders are reinstalled using custom-made plastic spacers and nylon bolts to ensure proper alignment.19:30 Following the launch, the boat remains in the boatyard for winter, with upcoming tasks focused on installing a mast step, learning Dyneema rigging techniques, and finalizing engine boxes.25:11 Proper surface preparation remains the most critical factor in achieving a durable paint finish on fiberglass hulls.
