¿Qué cubre este video?
Johan and Malin continue the construction of their 52-foot sailboat by reinforcing the deckhouse structure and installing ventilation hardware. To strengthen the deckhouse, they fabricate support pillars using PET foam cores laminated with carbon fiber and fiberglass.8:04 The team fills structural gaps with triangular foam inserts before tabbing the joints with fiberglass cloth and epoxy.0:54 Tabbing the ceiling panels proves difficult due to gravity, requiring careful application of the cloth to the overhead surfaces.9:37
The project also involves replacing traditional dorade boxes with Air Only ventilators.13:05 These units utilize internal PVC balls that float to seal the vents if water washes over the deck, preventing ingress during heavy seas or a knockdown.13:58 The ventilators are UV-stable and designed to be low-profile, allowing crew to step on them without snagging lines.16:03 The installation plan includes six to seven units distributed across the forward cabin, head, galley, and deckhouse.15:10 One unit includes an integrated fan for the head.17:46
