Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Shipwrights are installing a protective metal sacrificial keel on the wooden hull of Yabá to prevent rot and structural damage.2:08 The process involves fabricating steel plates that are pre-drilled and fitted to the keel, then removed for full welding to avoid heat damage to the surrounding wood.16:13 Between welding sessions, the crew sands the keel, plugs screw holes, and applies epoxy resin to seal the timber before final anti-fouling.2:54 The metal plates are bedded with SikaFlex to ensure a watertight seal against the epoxy-primed hull.9:07 Simultaneously, the crew is caulking the deck seams using a spatula to force the compound into the grooves for a cured, watertight finish.10:20 The project remains on a tight schedule ahead of the boat's upcoming launch, with the team coordinating metalwork and deck repairs in a shipyard environment.
