Cosa tratta questo video

Installing deck hardware on a catamaran requires precise alignment and core protection to prevent water intrusion. During the build, the owner mounts Southco 316 stainless steel hinges and cam latches on the forward sail locker hatches.1:21 To ensure structural integrity, the installation process involves drilling pilot holes, de-coring the foam between the fiberglass layers, and backfilling the voids with thickened resin.9:07 A test fit reveals that the hatch hinges bind against the gutter lip, requiring the owner to grind back the fiberglass edge to achieve full clearance.5:55 The hinges are positioned on the outboard side to protect the locker interior from spray when accessing sails in heavy weather.2:55

Separately, the crew joins friends aboard a Voyage 440 catamaran for a trip from Kent Island to St. Michael’s, Maryland, to attend the Waterman’s Festival.10:24 They anchor in shallow water near the Thomas Point Lighthouse to watch a docking competition featuring local working fishing boats.13:00
