Cosa tratta questo video

Refitting the davits on an Outremer catamaran requires precise structural reinforcement and alignment to ensure the assembly fits the hull’s geometry. After identifying structural weaknesses, the crew fabricated aluminum backing plates to distribute the load and reinforced the mounting points with epoxy inserts.2:07 Because the davit arms were repositioned, the team had to drill new mounting holes through the hull’s plywood core and fiberglass, carefully accounting for internal wooden cleats and existing structural bulkheads.14:47 The installation involved using Sikaflex sealant and threaded rods to secure the plates, achieving a precise 185-centimeter spacing between the arms.27:36

Simultaneously, the crew managed a hull-refinishing project, which included sanding the exterior hull and removing the boat's red boot stripe.1:01 While professional contractors handled the primary sanding, the owners performed detail work and applied a Kevlar layer to the hull for impact protection.10:23 The project also involved installing new cockpit drainage holes and preparing the davit frame for final welding.17:11 The crew noted that the structural modifications were necessary to prevent water ingress and ensure long-term integrity.9:50
