Qué cubre este vídeo
Garrett cuts a large hole in the deck of the George Buehler wooden boat to build a fo'c'sle cabin — a raised forward structure that will add port lights and a hatch to funnel breeze to the bunk below.0:02 The work centers on fitting beveled carlins to frame the hatch opening: every face of each carlin carries a unique bevel, port and starboard differ, and no angle is square.0:55 Garrett works within existing deck beams, removing only one, which gets repurposed for an aft hatch.1:06 Sidewall panels are patterned using 2.5-inch door-skin strips and a hot glue gun, then cut from exterior-grade ACX plywood.10:41 The finish plan is penetrating epoxy, fairing compound, fiberglass, and paint — enough to make rough construction-grade plywood serviceable.15:26 The boat is hauled at Piñasco, a boatyard Garrett and Ruth describe as increasingly rare for tolerating major construction without interference.9:07 A pilot house is also now planned for the same refit.8:52 After seven years of building and some sailing time, the couple says living aboard with minimal amenities clarified exactly which improvements to prioritize.1:22 Sailing the boat before finishing her revealed what was missing more clearly than planning alone could have.20:28
