Brett and Jade fabricate carbon fiber base plates for a custom hardtop arch on their sailboat.0:34 After glassing the interior and exterior of the plates with epoxy, they perform a test fit of the support legs on deck.0:10 Using triangulation and geometry, they verify the alignment of the arch legs within a quarter-inch tolerance while accounting for the boat's complex deck angles.6:50 The pair measures the vertical clearance to ensure the structure provides adequate headroom.8:03 Following the successful test fit, they decide to remove the legs and transport the entire hardtop assembly to their shop to build a jig for final construction.8:47 This decision delays their planned sailing departure by at least one week as they prioritize completing the structural project over immediate cruising.12:05
