Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the sailboat *Squib* performs several deck maintenance and refit tasks, including installing a stern light, applying KiwiGrip non-skid coating, and preparing a mounting console for a Windpilot self-steering system. To install the stern light, the crew routes a two-wire lead to the stern arch, crimps the connections, and seals the housing.1:03 Before applying KiwiGrip to the side decks and cabin roof, the crew masks off all deck hardware and fittings using painter's tape.3:39 They apply the non-skid compound by squeezing it directly from the pouch onto the deck and spreading it with a roller, noting that the material cures faster in warmer temperatures.13:34 Additionally, the crew marks and drills a hole for the holding tank pump-out deck fitting.9:37 For the Windpilot installation, the owner drills mounting holes through the stern platform, reinforces the underside with laminated wood, and fills the holes with thickened epoxy to prevent water ingress before final bolting.15:12
