Qué cubre este vídeo

The owners of a Cape George Cutter 36 refit their salon interior by installing custom storage shelves behind the starboard backrests. To maximize narrow, triangular spaces, they fabricate cleats from Alaska yellow cedar, angling the cuts to sit flush against the fiberglass hull tabbing. The project requires creating templates to account for existing teak trim and integrating the shelves as structural support for the backrests. To source plywood for these shelves, the crew cuts a large section of the deck to close the cockpit, repurposing the offcuts for the interior cabinetry. Additionally, the refit includes the installation of custom latches on the backrests, which require fabricated wooden blocks to ensure proper engagement. For refrigeration, the owners select a Technotics air-cooled compressor system paired with a holding plate to improve energy efficiency and reliability. They address concerns regarding finger-trap hazards in cabinet openings by emphasizing the use of solid teak handrails for bracing in heavy seas.
