Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Dan and Kika are mid-refit on Uma, a Pearson 36, at a shipyard, applying the first coat of primer to the hull exterior when a fire breaks out two to three shipyards away.21:27 The fire starts just before 3 p.m. and burns for over five hours, consuming an indoor winter-storage facility packed with power boats, diesel, propane, petrol, and fiberglass resin.25:32 Police evacuate the entire side of the yard; Dan and Kika grab electronics, laptops, camera gear, and footage before leaving.22:39 Ash and charred debris fall on Uma during the evacuation.21:34 No injuries are reported.25:57 The refit work itself covers a known structural defect on the Pearson 36: hull delamination at the knee where the lower shrouds attach, causing progressive dimples — the same issue that prompted a recall of the sister-ship Pearson 10 Meter.7:31 The fix involved slacking the rig, removing and reinstalling bulkheads, glassing in additional stringers and extra hull layers from inside, and then fairing the exterior.8:05 A four-roller comparison test (two foam, two nap) on the first primer coat finds no meaningful difference in finish quality on the convex hull surface.5:41 A tarp-and-frame shelter over the boat allows priming work to continue despite 35-knot winds and spring rain.1:31
