Damien and Jess complete the construction of a custom 2-meter aluminum dinghy, designed for durability and transport between their primary vessel, Brewpeg, and shore. The build process involves TIG welding 2mm aluminum plate, which requires extensive surface preparation with a stainless steel grinding wheel to remove corrosion and contaminants that cause weld porosity.1:48 The team fabricates custom handrails, paddle brackets, a lifting hook, and towing eyes, then pressure-tests the hull to 7 psi using a soap-water solution to identify and seal leaks.25:08 Performance testing with a 15-horsepower outboard yields a top speed of 18.5 knots in flat water with three people aboard.35:10 The dinghy serves as a tender to allow for more flexible anchoring options, enabling the crew to moor further from shore.37:33 The project concludes with the hull watertight and functional, while the crew shifts focus to engine and gearbox maintenance on the main vessel.37:43
