Acorn To Arabella · vidéo

Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Construction of the wooden boat *Arabella* continues with the installation of the final plank on the port side and the development of the deckhouse structure.0:22 The crew uses cedar strips to laminate the house sides, employing an epoxy-based construction method that will be fiberglassed for structural stability.2:17 To accommodate the dinghy on the roof while maintaining interior headroom, the team adjusts the house height and camber, using a mock-up to verify clearances.1:10 The sill plate design incorporates a cove to facilitate future caulking of the deck-to-house seam.4:15 While the port side hull planking is nearly complete, the crew intentionally leaves the final sheer strakes off to maintain access to the staging and to avoid premature caulking.21:39 By delaying the final hull closure and caulking until just before launch, the builders prevent the wood from undergoing multiple seasonal swelling and shrinking cycles, which would otherwise loosen the cotton caulking.22:02
