The crew continues a major structural refit of their sailboat, focusing on the custom fabrication and installation of interior blocking.2:20 Each block requires precise, custom-angled cuts to fit against existing deck beams and hull fiberglass, which are not perfectly square.2:38 The process involves planing the wood to fit, rounding edges with sandpaper, and applying multiple coats of epoxy.3:42 To achieve clean corners when taping for epoxy application, the crew uses a razor blade to cut the tape at a 45-degree angle.4:37 Once coated, the blocks are scuffed with Scotch-Brite pads to prepare them for final varnishing and bonding.8:26 The project aims to strengthen the vessel’s interior, combining Alaska yellow cedar beams with mahogany and bronze carriage bolts.9:08 The crew completes half of the required 60 blocks before pausing the project to travel to Europe.11:41 Custom-fitting blocking to irregular, aged hull structures requires significant time and patience, but provides structural integrity and aesthetic finish.
