Crew repairs catamaran hull under blue sky
¿Qué cubre este video?
The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform extensive structural repairs on the vessel’s davits and forward bulkhead during a multi-day shipyard period. The davit system’s significant leverage and cantilevered weight caused mechanical compression and delamination of the internal plywood mounting surfaces, though the wood remains free of rot or water intrusion.8:48 To address the structural failure, the crew plans to replace the existing small mounting plates with larger, custom-fabricated aluminum plates to distribute the load over a wider surface area.10:41 They also intend to install larger plywood backing plates inside the hull to reinforce the mounting points and prevent future deformation.22:52
Simultaneously, the crew completes fiberglass repairs on a forward bulkhead, adjusting new plywood panels to fit the hull’s geometry.2:31 Additional maintenance tasks include sanding the hull’s waterline, applying primer to the saildrives and aluminum gantry, and masking the martingale rigging.17:04 The team opts to leave the martingale tensioned rather than risking damage to the turnbuckles during disassembly.14:12 The project relies on local artisans for aluminum welding and structural consultation to improve the gantry’s rigidity and potentially raise the solar panel array.20:33
