Arthur prepares his catamaran for a June departure by completing maintenance tasks in the Netherlands.1:05 He refurbishes low-mounted port lights that previously leaked during transit on Amsterdam lakes.8:44 The original rubber seals were perished and the windows lacked proper fasteners.8:54 He replaces the seals with closed-cell foam from a local chandlery and secures the frames using stainless steel nuts and bolts.13:13 He also reinforces the main mast beam by drilling through hardwood support pieces and installing M10 bolts.1:26 To address structural concerns on the stairs, he applies a fiberglass and epoxy repair, using a heater to ensure the mixture cures in 10-degree Celsius temperatures.17:21 He notes that he measured the epoxy by volume rather than weight due to dead scale batteries, adding 10 percent extra to the mix.19:59 Future plans include installing a simple electrical system for the starter battery and mast lights, while relying on portable power for other needs.20:48
