Qué cubre este vídeo
Jorman, owner of a sailboat undergoing restoration in Puerto Santo, Madeira, replaces the vessel's original 8mm acrylic windows with 10mm polycarbonate sheets.▶ 2:23 The project requires adapting to locally available materials to avoid high shipping costs from mainland Europe.▶ 1:07 While the new polycarbonate is 20% to 30% heavier and more prone to surface scratching than acrylic, it offers superior impact resistance, flexibility, and ease of cutting with standard tools.▶ 11:02 To protect the interior from rain and sanding dust during ongoing deck preparation, Jorman temporarily reinstalls the old, damaged windows as a seal.▶ 6:17 He rejects the idea of building an external PVC-pipe shelter due to the lack of structural anchor points on the deck and the high, persistent winds in the region, which would likely destroy a temporary structure.▶ 14:12 The restoration focuses on structural and functional integrity rather than cosmetic perfection.▶ 15:38
