Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the 50-year-old sailboat Uma completes the final phase of interior demolition by removing the remaining cabin sole and hull liner.1:49 Previous attempts to secure the cabin sole using fiberglass shims and rubber wedges failed to prevent squeaking caused by hull flex, leading the crew to gut the interior to establish a more rigid foundation.3:54 After cutting out the sole in the v-berth and head, the crew exposes the raw fiberglass hull, noting significant chafing where the original liner rubbed against the structure.19:54 The project also includes finishing a custom passerelle coated with KiwiGrip, which the crew confirms has remained durable after five years of storage.1:06 Living in an RV while working on the boat, the crew manages water consumption by transporting jerry cans to the marina.10:45 With the major demolition finished, the next phase involves using cardboard templates to plan the new interior layout and structural rebuild.21:03 Removing the original, poorly attached hull liner eliminates the primary source of structural noise and movement within the vessel.19:44
