Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Refitting the pocket catamaran Squib involves removing deck hardware, grinding away damaged gelcoat, and repairing structural stress cracks. The project begins by stripping the safety rails and jib tracks from the deck, though some fasteners require drilling or grinding when nuts are inaccessible or seized.0:47 After clearing the hardware, the crew grinds down areas of degraded gelcoat and removes remnants of old hinge mounts.4:24 Inspection reveals stress cracks at four locations where internal bulkheads meet the deck, likely caused by structural loads near window cutouts.7:23 These cracks are ground out to create a clean surface for reinforcement.8:44 The repair process involves laminating two or three layers of fiberglass mat over the ground-out areas to restore structural integrity.8:52 Once the epoxy cures, the surface is sanded smooth to prepare for final finishing.14:47 Sabina assists by applying the first layer of epoxy to the reinforced sections and painting the interior of the deckhouse.15:33
