The owners of the wooden schooner Yabá are stripping the hull to assess structural damage and prepare for a major refit. A carpenter advised the crew to focus sanding efforts on the upper planks near the waterline, as lower sections suffer from severe shipworm infestation and require replacement.2:08 The crew uses angle grinders to remove layers of paint and epoxy, identifying damaged wood by the presence of shipworm holes and foul-smelling, green discharge.11:46 The project plan involves replacing the entire keel, which necessitates removing the two lowest lines of hull planks.13:20 This removal will allow for a full inspection of the internal frames to determine which can be salvaged and which must be replaced.14:26 While the owners perform the labor-intensive sanding, they have hired professional shipwrights to manage the structural carpentry and keel replacement.15:02 The long-term goal is to rebuild the vessel using original construction methods while ensuring structural integrity.13:47
