Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A 1987 Warrior 38, named Athena, undergoes a multi-stage refit involving hull preparation and the construction of a technical compartment for a DIY diesel generator.0:21 The project requires applying multiple coats of epoxy primer to the hull, with the host timing each coat at approximately 80 minutes and observing a three-to-four-hour overcoating interval.10:47 To accommodate the generator, the host modifies an existing bunk, lowering a section to fit the unit while maintaining clearance for conduit and hoses.0:59 He installs TruDesign through-hull fittings into 18mm plywood, using thickened epoxy to create a flush-mount finish.12:32 The hull preparation also includes activating a Coppercoat anti-fouling system by scuffing the surface with Scotch-Brite pads, though the host notes that 320-grit sandpaper may be more effective for larger areas.7:24 Additionally, the host mounts six 30cm cleats, addressing deck core issues by utilizing solid plywood sections near the stern.15:47 The refit remains ongoing, with future plans to install the main engine exhaust and complete the final paint layers.
