Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The refit of the pocket catamaran Squib involves stripping the foredeck of hardware to prepare for new rub rails and deck painting. Peter and Sabina remove the bow pulpit and various deck fittings, discovering significant corrosion, debris, and old wasp nests in the anchor locker.4:00 The removal process requires accessing tight spaces inside the forward cabin to reach backing nuts, often necessitating the use of a Dremel tool and Fein multitool to cut through seized or bonded fasteners.14:51 The crew identifies multiple redundant holes in the deck, which they plan to laminate and seal.4:57 To improve deck integrity and reduce potential leak points, they relocate the navigation lights from the pulpit to the deckhouse, eliminating unnecessary cable penetrations.14:15 Peter also prepares thin wooden strips in his workshop for the new rub rails, using epoxy to laminate the curved sections to match the hull’s profile.15:28 The project focuses on structural preparation and surface restoration of the foredeck.
