Qué cubre este vídeo

The refit of the Magic Carpet involves extensive interior and deck deconstruction to address water damage and storage reconfiguration. In the V-berth, the crew removes harsh fiberglass roving to inspect the underlying end-grain balsa insulation.2:06 They find the balsa discolored but structurally sound, attributing the issue to moisture ingress through the sparse, thick-weave fiberglass.11:33 The plan involves replacing the roving with a tighter, sewn fiberglass mat to improve the finish and moisture resistance.12:56 Additionally, the crew intends to reconfigure V-berth storage to lower the center of gravity by relocating anchor chain weight.4:20 On deck, the crew uses a router to cut through plywood layers, exposing deck beams for assessment.5:43 Many beam ends show signs of rot, requiring further evaluation and potential repair.17:08 The deck beams do not contact the hull directly but remain rigid through through-bolted connections to the beam shelf.19:59
