Cosa tratta questo video
Garrett and Ruth continue construction on their custom wooden dinghy, focusing on structural reinforcement and fairing. Garrett applies thickened epoxy to the skeg and reinforces the bottom with a heavy fiberglass layup to withstand beach landings.▶ 1:16 He uses TotalBoat Thixo for filleting the underside of seat supports, noting the product's ease of use for structural joints in tight spaces.▶ 7:49 The daggerboard trunk is fiberglassed on the interior faces for abrasion resistance and secured with temporary tabs.▶ 4:45 After drilling a pilot hole, Garrett uses a flush-cut router bit to open the daggerboard slot, though he notes that installing the skeg prematurely required freehand routing to clear the obstruction.▶ 11:14 The hull is coated with fairing compound to prepare for final sanding and painting.▶ 1:34 Separately, the couple visits their larger vessel, Red Aviva, in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, to perform maintenance, including engine servicing and sail inspection, in preparation for the Norte wind season.▶ 1:50
