Cosa tratta questo video

Construction of the home-built catamaran continues with the bonding and glassing of the stern tubes and skegs on both hulls. To ensure precise alignment of the starboard strut, the crew uses a laser to verify the position of the stern tube relative to the hull center line.1:59 After bonding the skeg, they apply 12-ounce double-bias fiberglass, using metal rollers to remove air bubbles from the resin.8:54 The process proves difficult due to high temperatures causing the resin to kick prematurely and the new fiberglass roll resisting adhesion.12:31 Meanwhile, interior work focuses on fairing, coving, and sanding the owner’s berth and hallway.0:18 The crew prepares these areas for a final coat of Allgrip high-build primer, though progress stalls temporarily while awaiting a shipment of Allquick primer.14:58 To manage the stress of the long-term build, the crew incorporates daily meditation sessions and outdoor walks near the Chesapeake Bay.6:38
