¿Qué cubre este video?

Structural repairs on a Beneteau sailboat reveal extensive grid delamination and improper previous patch work. Grinding away gel coat in the forward cabin and main salon exposes delamination consistent with initial survey expectations, requiring the removal of fiberglass tabs and manual reconstruction of the grid.3:41 The forward head area, initially a major concern, shows damage contained to a manageable section, avoiding the need for structural roof or head removal.2:28 Discovery of seawater and layered fiberglass-over-gel-coat patches in the galley suggests a history of poor repairs, likely masking damage from a previous keel grounding.7:26 Further investigation requires dropping the keel to assess potential hull delamination at the aft keel tip.8:01 While the project scope may expand to include removing the galley or engine, the hull itself remains solid.9:50 The crew continues to grind and re-fiberglass the grid to restore structural integrity.
