The crew of the sailboat Uma reinforces the cabin top and side decks to increase structural rigidity and eliminate deck flex.19:35 To address the lack of support between bulkheads, they install a 1-centimeter balsa core along the side decks, securing it with a notched trowel application of thickened vinyl ester resin.15:38 The team fills surface indentations and screw holes from previous hardware with a mixture of vinyl ester resin and talc, achieving a smooth finish before applying fiberglass.4:37 They use a three-layer layup of biaxial glass with integrated chopped strand mat to bridge the cabin top and side sections.19:13 The process involves extensive fairing, grinding, and sanding to prepare the surface for final glassing.18:51 The crew notes that this composite construction provides a stiffer, lighter alternative to the original deck liner, creating a solid mounting surface for port lights.19:46 Proper ventilation and the use of respirators are required due to the potent fumes generated by the resin work in the enclosed cabin.8:59
