Qué cubre este vídeo

Damien and his crew, assisted by visiting volunteers, are refitting the steel hull of the boat Brupeg.Watch The primary structural task involves welding steel fuel tank panels into the hull. Because the steel warped after being cut, the team uses crowbars, levers, and custom-welded steel loops to force the panels into alignment before tack-welding them every six inches.5:55 Once the panels are positioned, they grind the interior seams to remove carbon and paint, ensuring clean metal for final welding.14:26

Simultaneously, the crew upgrades the boat’s electrical system, replacing temporary wiring with a protected circuit breaker setup to reduce fire risk.3:01 Exterior work includes sanding and applying a new topcoat to the cabin.16:27 The team also performs maintenance on the engine and a vegetable oil boiler.16:57 By the end of the work period, the fuel tanks are welded on the exterior, with interior welding approximately 60 to 70 percent complete.12:56 Using leverage points and incremental tack-welding allows for the realignment of warped steel hull sections.6:09
