Ce que couvre cette vidéo
To replace a 40-year-old wooden stern rail on the 3.45-meter-long transom of the boat Squib, the crew fabricates a new structure using laminated strips salvaged from terrace decking.0:09 The project involves removing the existing traveler and stanchions, then clamping and gluing multiple thin wood layers over a curved template to match the original shape.1:44 Because the original rail had suffered from small washers sinking into the wood, the crew uses larger washers and fills gaps with epoxy thickened with sawdust.2:57 After planing and sanding the new assembly to fit the existing hardware, they seal the joints and mount the rail using stainless steel fasteners.10:38 The process requires precise alignment of the stanchions and careful fitting of the curved end sections to ensure the rail sits flush against the deck fittings. The total material cost for the replacement remains under 20 euros, consisting primarily of new stainless steel hardware.19:05
