Johan and Malin continue the custom build of their 52-foot sailboat by constructing the companionway hatch and roof structure.4:58 To ensure structural integrity after cutting the roof opening, Johan laminates 50-by-50 millimeter cedar rails with carbon fiber to serve as stiffeners.14:53 He selects Swedish western red cedar for its shear strength, noting it serves as a core material rather than a finish surface.15:40 The design requires the sliding hatch to maintain three distinct positions while remaining watertight and secure for high-latitude sailing.12:45 Johan addresses the challenge of sealing the hatch against the door by considering a cam-based mechanism to lift the seal during operation.13:43 He reinforces the roof corners with biaxial glass and carbon fiber, prioritizing tension-side placement to minimize deflection.21:54 The project also involves patching 33 cracked roof sheets on their barn using epoxy and fiberglass to prevent leaks.3:46 The couple emphasizes that many design details for the boat remain unsolved, requiring iterative mock-ups and on-the-fly problem solving throughout the construction process.20:16
