Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Djé performs structural repairs on the bow of his catamaran, Mistertong, focusing on reinforcing deck cleats and stanchion bases.10:02 After initial attempts to fiberglass the area with large, single sheets of fabric resulted in wind-blown bubbles and poor adhesion, he switches to a technique of overlapping smaller, 30-to-50-centimeter strips of fiberglass.0:58 He sands the deck down to the wood, fills voids with epoxy resin, and installs internal backing plates to distribute the load from the anchor chain and deck hardware.11:16 The process includes drilling pilot holes for cleats, applying epoxy fillets for structural integrity, and managing the challenges of working in high humidity and rain, which complicates curing and requires frequent covering of the work area.10:03 Despite some aesthetic imperfections and epoxy drips inside the hull, the repairs prioritize structural strength for the vessel's ground tackle.13:10 The crew balances these maintenance tasks with daily life in the Caribbean, including provisioning trips to Saint-Anne and hosting friends on board.6:21
