Hva denne videoen dekker

To reinforce the stanchions on the 40-foot catamaran Uma, the crew fabricates custom fiberglass pedestals to provide a flat, level mounting surface on the curved deck.5:47 After sanding the deck to bare fiberglass, they lay up epoxy-saturated fiberglass patches to create these pedestals.7:05 They cut a section out of the existing genoa track to accommodate the new stanchion placement.6:37 For installation, they drill through-deck holes and secure the stanchion bases using quarter-20 machine screws, fender washers, and locking nuts.14:35 They bed the hardware with butyl tape, applying a small donut around each screw to ensure a watertight seal while allowing for potential drainage.15:19 The crew completes the initial phase by temporarily installing the stanchion tubes to verify height and alignment, planning to weld the final assembly later.16:56 The project requires two people to tighten the through-bolts from inside the hull while the other holds the hardware in place on deck.13:29
