Qué cubre este vídeo

Garrett and Ruth are deep into the refit of Red Aviva, a George Buehler design, with multiple hull and deck systems converging toward a bottom paint and launch sequence.0:30 The refastening project is nearly complete — epoxy filling runs from amidships to the transom — and fiberglass work on deck is finished.0:02 Ruth fairs the pilot house walls, roof, and cabin top using a mix of Total Fair and an epoxy-filler substitute sourced from another boatyard tenant; the pilot house gets careful fairing for finish paint while the cabin top and deck receive a rougher pass since they will take non-skid.4:51 Garrett scribes the waterline, applies final coats of primer to the hull by roller and brush, moves the stands to reach missed patches, and drops the rudder for stripping and hardware fitting.8:40 The old gudgeons are ground off over a full day using multiple grinding discs and flapper discs; new gudgeons with tighter-tolerance sleeves replace them.15:01 Garrett works through alignment challenges — a slightly cocked gudgeon strap requires deliberate off-axis mounting to keep the rudder in the same plane — and fills old bolt holes with wooden dowels before re-drilling.19:51 Permanent hardware installation and finish paint are the stated next steps.22:28
