Cosa tratta questo video
Djé and Nad are on day 44–46 of a catamaran refit, working through structural repairs to the forward beam area and bow sections of their Outremer.▶ 0:30 The primary task is opening the starboard bow to replace a wood panel glued against the fiberglass laminate 18 months earlier — work done hastily from the inside with limited access — and to rebuild the watertight bulkhead separating the crash box from the rest of the hull.▶ 1:20 Djé explains the crash box design: closed-cell foam plus a sealed air void that, combined with a bilge pump in the bow compartment, provides multiple layers of flood protection in a collision.▶ 6:38 Interior inspection confirms the plywood hull panels are sound, eliminating the need to cut into the port bow — a schedule gain that also unblocks installation of the last trampoline fixing.▶ 9:34 The beam's aluminum mounting plates are being unbolted one pair at a time so the surrounding area can be sanded and repainted; nylon washers and Tefgen sealant are added between the stainless bolts and aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.▶ 21:07 Bolts cut to 20 cm prove difficult to remove in the confined space.▶ 25:22 Friends arrive at anchor that evening to help with the refit.▶ 24:43
