Cosa tratta questo video

Djé and Nad perform structural repairs on their catamaran, Mistertong, while anchored in Martinique. After discovering water infiltration and wood rot around a porthole, Djé grinds away the damaged fiberglass and spongy plywood.38:07 He replaces the compromised section with a new piece of 12mm okoumé plywood, bonding it with thickened epoxy resin.8:46 To restore structural integrity, he applies two layers of 450g/m² biaxial fiberglass cloth over the repair, finishing with a peel ply.16:04 The repair process highlights the challenges of working with battery-powered tools, as the angle grinder consumes significant energy, necessitating careful charging management.14:30 While Djé manages the fiberglass work, Nad focuses on resealing other portholes.21:53 The crew also notes a shift in local wind patterns, observing that nearby vessels are oriented differently than their own despite light conditions.33:09 Djé plans to conduct a thorough hull inspection with a drill once the boat is hauled out to identify any further hidden rot.7:58
