Cosa tratta questo video

Peter continues the refit of the pocket catamaran Squib, focusing on deck hardware, electrical systems, and interior organization. He installs two new water deck fills by sanding the fiberglass, applying thickened epoxy, and sealing the fittings with Sikaflex.0:53 To allow the sealant to cure properly, he leaves the mounting screws slightly loose for a final tightening later.3:48 He also bonds a battery box in place using thickened epoxy, ensuring it is level before the adhesive sets.4:32

On the exterior, Peter connects two additional solar panels in series.9:28 He manages the installation alone by securing the panels at accessible points, though he notes that full mounting requires a second person to reach fasteners from both sides.7:57 He also tests the diesel heater, which raises the cabin temperature by 10 degrees within 10 minutes.12:11 Interior tasks include removing an old bathroom sink, clearing space for a new electrical panel near the helm, and organizing tools and materials into labeled storage bins to reduce clutter.6:44 He concludes by measuring and cutting wood trim for a new frame in the aft cabin.14:55
