Cosa tratta questo video

Jon and Bridget are restoring a 1989 Liberty 458 named Antidote in their driveway in the Pacific Northwest.0:12 To facilitate the refit, Jon constructed a gothic-arch shed using 20-foot 2x4s and 7mm marine shrink wrap.6:00 The primary project involves removing the original teak decks, which were screwed from the top and caused extensive moisture damage to the fiberglass core.7:07 After stripping the teak, Jon is replacing the saturated balsa and plywood core with Divinycell PVC foam, Kusa 26-pound foam boards for high-stress areas, and G10 blocks for heavily loaded fittings.8:57 He uses vacuum bagging at 23 inches of mercury to bond the new core, providing uniform clamping pressure.9:20 Additional work includes removing seized fasteners from the cap rails and decommissioning a 270-pound Crosby refrigeration system.9:56 The couple intends to complete the restoration to prepare the vessel for future ocean crossings.
