Cosa tratta questo video
Djé performs routine maintenance on the catamaran Mister Tong, focusing on reinforcing deck hardware and servicing winches.1:17 To prevent deck compression and water ingress, he fabricates custom backing plates for stanchions and cleats using multiple layers of 12mm to 18mm plywood.10:17 These plates are shaped, sanded, and designed to distribute mechanical loads more effectively than the existing hardware mounts.10:46 The project involves removing old, inadequate backing plates and installing the new, larger plywood inserts, which will be bonded with resin to the underside of the deck.11:36 Additionally, Djé services the winches by cleaning the internal gears and pawls, referencing instructional material to ensure proper lubrication.19:30 While working, he observes a nearby steel vessel and the arrival of the small sailboat Baluchon, which is preparing for a passage from the Caribbean to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon in 30-knot winds.16:59 The maintenance work aims to eliminate deck leaks and improve the structural integrity of the boat's hardware attachments.
