The crew completes the fiberglass lamination of the salon cabin top on their 50-year-old sailboat, Uma.6:15 To manage the high temperatures in the shipyard, they install a residential-sized air conditioning unit, which allows them to work with resin without it curing prematurely.0:26 They use a combination of 450-gram biaxial glass and 200-gram chopped strand mat, applying two layers to maintain structural flexibility on the cabin top while planning for stiffer, bulkhead-tabbed side decks.1:15 The team uses peel ply to finish the surface, intending to assess the need for further fairing or structural ribs once the material cures.1:44 They follow a strict schedule to finish the work before the shipyard gates lock for the weekend.8:13 During their time off, they use an EcoFlow 2-kilowatt battery system in their support truck, recently upgraded with an 800-watt alternator charger to power appliances like a blender and induction cooktop.16:11 The project continues with the upcoming lamination of the v-berth.8:46
