Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Johan and Malin continue construction of their 50-foot custom sailboat in southern Sweden, focusing on the forward deck panels and structural reinforcements.0:10 Johan prepares the deck by installing G10 backing plates for lifeline stanchions, using thickened epoxy to bond the pieces directly into the foam core.0:30 To avoid the labor of cutting complex shapes with a router, he experiments with creating solid fiberglass inserts in situ, using the foam as a mold.7:31 He monitors the exothermic reaction of the epoxy, ensuring temperatures remain below 70–80 degrees Celsius to maintain laminate strength.10:39 The process involves tabbing bulkheads with two layers of fiberglass and peel ply.6:04 For the final deck lamination, the plan calls for three layers of 600-gram biaxial cloth topped with one layer of 300-gram weave, applied in three sections using a vacuum bag.19:15 Johan increases edge radii from 10mm to 15mm to improve fiberglass conformity.19:03 The team also prepares for future side deck construction, which will require specific reinforcements for headsail tracks.15:37
