Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform structural repairs on the vessel's forward crossbeam while hauled out for a refit. The project involves removing rotted wood, cleaning out the internal cavity, and reinforcing the structure with new fiberglass and epoxy. To ensure structural integrity, the crew fills voids with foam and mastic before applying biaxial fiberglass cloth.▶ 13:45 They decide to permanently seal a small, unused locker near the anchor davit to simplify the bow configuration and accommodate the headsail furler.▶ 14:31 The repair process requires extensive sanding, vacuuming, and precise cutting of fiberglass fabric.▶ 16:07 The owners also address practical challenges of living and working on a boat in a shipyard, including rigging a temporary drainage system for their washing machine and improving safety access to the deck using a heavy-duty line instead of a slippery ladder.▶ 33:50 The structural reinforcement adds weight, but the removal of degraded wood and excessive hardware results in a net reduction in mass.▶ 21:17
