Qué cubre este vídeo

The refit of the pocket catamaran Squib involves laminating fiberglass panels for the port engine compartment and installing keder tracks to support cockpit enclosures. To prepare the engine compartment panels, the crew applies 160-gram multidirectional fiberglass matting with epoxy.3:45 Because the matting arrived folded, the material developed creases that lifted during the initial lamination, requiring the crew to sand, fill, and re-laminate the surface.14:53 The crew uses plastic strips to separate stacked panels during the curing process to prevent sticking.16:11

Additionally, the project includes mounting keder tracks to the boat to facilitate the installation of mosquito netting and solar panel covers.0:27 During a test fit of the solar panel covers, the crew identifies that the fabric is too loose and requires shortening to prevent wind flapping.11:40 Future tasks include milling Iroko wood strips for structural support and refinishing a vanity unit that developed surface imperfections after roller application.14:12 The crew plans to switch to brush application for the final finish.16:58
