Cosa tratta questo video
Garrett and Ruth continue a multi-front refit of Red Aviva, a George Buehler design, dividing the hull and deck work between them.1:17 Garrett scrapes the bottom to bare wood in sections — waterline to chine first — then cleans with denatured alcohol and primes, choosing a higher-quality primer to extend bottom paint life.1:55 New fasteners go into the sheathing throughout.0:45 Ruth takes the deck and pilot house: she fairs plywood with a fairing compound to eliminate voids before fiberglassing, then receives a hands-on filleting lesson from Garrett using thickened epoxy in a bag, learning to move continuously through corners and adjust stick angle on rough surfaces.0:59 Both the focsle cabin and pilot house reach the same stage simultaneously — fillets applied, roofs glued permanently in place — and Ruth tabs the focsle into the deck with biaxial cloth.6:54 Garrett cuts a half-circle clearance notch in the pilot house roof for the mizzen gaff jaws, reasoning that skipping it would force a separate saddle-building project before the boat could sail.12:18 The interior of the pilot house will be sealed with straight fiberglass resin and TotalBoat epoxy barrier coat rather than fully glassed.18:26 A rotary sander, shipped via a follower's address just across the border, arrives to fill the gap between orbital and angle grinder.19:10 Semana Santa marks the backdrop.10:54
