¿Qué cubre este video?
The refit of the pocket catamaran Squib involves extensive structural repairs and surface preparation on the deckhouse.0:11 After identifying delamination caused by improper surface preparation over existing paint, the crew grinds down the affected areas, fills gaps, and applies epoxy to seal the exposed wood.1:37 To manage electrical routing, they install custom wooden channels along the deckhouse beams, which also serve to reinforce the structure.2:47 The team removes redundant wiring from the vessel’s decommissioned electrical panel, including abandoned lines leading to the engine room and a removed Eberspächer heater control.11:35
Surface finishing includes sanding the deckhouse, equipment arches, and rear platform before applying two coats of primer.14:30 When painting the exterior, the crew experiments with plush rollers to avoid the "orange peel" texture previously caused by foam rollers, though they ultimately revert to foam to prevent paint runs.17:03 Final tasks include sealing the mounting holes for the stern railing to prevent water ingress into the motor wells and preparing the forward cabin for hatch installation.18:30
