Cosa tratta questo video
Adriano Plotzky cracked the hull of his sailboat, Balanço, after positioning the boat incorrectly on its trailer.0:20 The trailer support pressed against a thin, non-structural section of the hull that had been previously repaired with filler rather than fiberglass.0:47 To fix the damage, he sanded the area down to the fiber and applied three layers of 240-gram fiberglass cloth on the exterior and three additional layers on the interior.1:35 He also applied Coppercoat antifouling paint to the entire bottom, reinforcing high-wear areas such as the leading edges of the bow, the keel, and the rudder.4:44 During the process, he utilized Prop-speed, a silicone-based hydrophobic coating, on the propeller.3:59 The project required over a month of labor in Antonina, Brazil, and concluded with a three-day curing period before the boat could return to the water.5:46
