Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Construction of the forward cabin on a self-built 52-foot sailboat involves structural tabbing, installation of a jet thruster, and interior layout planning. Johan and Malin prepare for tabbing by cutting 42.9 meters of 600-gram fiberglass strips in varying widths to secure bulkheads, floor sections, and a bed frame to the hull.1:24 To ensure a strong secondary bond, they roughen surfaces with thickened epoxy before applying the fiberglass.2:42 Johan builds and laminates custom brackets for a 60-kilogram jet thruster motor and its battery bank.8:32 When cold, humid conditions cause amine blush on the epoxy, the team removes the oily film with soap and hot water before proceeding.12:31 Interior work includes installing cedar strips to support side lockers, which serve as structural stops for sleeping while heeled.13:53 The design prioritizes service access for the thruster and electrical systems over maximizing storage volume.19:17 The team uses leftover PET foam to template bulkheads for new storage drawers at the foot of the bed.21:21
