Peter and Sabina continue the extensive refit of their pocket catamaran, Squib, focusing on structural repairs to the cabin roof and the final preparation of the arch-style equipment rack. To improve the functionality of the deck hatches, Peter cuts back the surrounding roof edges to allow the hatches to open fully to a horizontal position, subsequently sealing the modifications with epoxy and fiberglass matting.4:23 The crew also relocates the water tank and holding tank deck fittings to optimize hose routing and eliminate redundant through-deck holes, which are filled and faired with thickened epoxy.8:27
Work on the equipment rack involves intensive sanding and filling to achieve a smooth finish before applying primer.1:37 Sabina assists by refinishing the port-side wet locker.4:23 Additionally, Peter removes and disassembles the cabin windows to address leaks, using a multi-tool to cut through hardened adhesive sealant.20:36 The project concludes with preparations for applying the first coat of primer over the Whitsun weekend, contingent on favorable weather forecasts.16:57 Peter notes that the refit is a multi-year, labor-intensive process requiring hundreds of hours of sanding and structural work.
