Hva denne videoen dekker

The crew of the custom-built vessel Uma installs 17 structural bulkheads by first creating templates from wood strips to ensure each piece fits through the companionway and aligns with existing hull ribs.4:28 To maintain structural integrity and load distribution, they tab the bulkheads directly onto the ribs using fiberglass and laminating resin.17:48 They employ peel ply over the final fiberglass layers to achieve a smooth, non-tacky finish that requires minimal sanding before painting.20:31 For the galley and hanging locker bulkheads, the crew uses a galvanized angle as a straight edge to ensure the panels remain plumb and parallel, correcting a one-centimeter alignment error before bonding.28:18 They plan to incorporate a drain hole in the V-berth bulkhead, with future intentions to install a threaded cap to create a watertight compartment.18:23 Using templates and verifying alignment with a laser level before glassing prevents structural hard points and ensures accurate bulkhead placement.17:22
