The refit of the pocket catamaran Squib focuses on structural repairs to the port hull and the fabrication of custom engine compartment covers.0:13 To create the engine covers, three 3mm plywood panels are bonded with thickened epoxy and reinforced with custom-fitted frames.1:20 After sanding the edges and rounding corners with a handheld router, the panels are test-fitted in the port engine bilge and trimmed for clearance.3:44 Structural work in the port hull includes filling old ventilation holes from a decommissioned absorption refrigerator with epoxy and fiberglass to seal the hull against water ingress.7:28 Additional tasks involve removing old wiring and lamps in the forward cabin, filling holes in the bulkheads, and laminating the interior hull walls with fiberglass matting.8:46 Sabina and Peter also perform general maintenance, including cleaning the bilge, removing an old foot pump, and installing new bilge pump and main electrical switches.6:05 The project concludes with the removal of exterior refrigerator vent grilles and the sealing of remaining screw holes.13:33
