Refitting the galley on the 9-meter catamaran Squib involves constructing new cabinetry, repairing companionway steps, and sanding the underwater hull.Watch The crew designs a new kitchen cabinet to house a sink and refrigerator, using plywood templates to ensure the unit fits the non-parallel bulkhead geometry.1:57 To secure the cabinet, they laminate fiberglass strips to the floor and hull, first sanding the fiberglass surfaces and beveling the edges of an old foot-pump hole to ensure a strong bond.9:48 They use a plastic-covered plywood backing as a mold to fill the hole with epoxy.12:01
Separately, the crew renovates the companionway steps by removing 43-year-old brass screws from the trim.15:46 Many screw slots require cleaning to gain purchase, and two seized screws require drilling out.15:58 The crew fills gaps in the wooden trim with epoxy, using tape on the reverse side to prevent leakage.17:53 Meanwhile, the interior storage compartments receive a fresh coat of paint, and the hull undergoes extensive manual sanding to prepare for finishing.7:03
