The crew of the Catalpa performs deck repairs and mainsail installation while waiting for missing sail battens in a boatyard. After discovering soft, rotten core material around deck-mounted boxes and dorade vents, the crew cuts back the damaged sections, removes wet wood, and fills the voids with thickened epoxy containing fiberglass fibers.3:27 They also oversize the bolt holes for new mushroom vents, filling them with epoxy to prevent future water ingress into the deck core.14:04 Simultaneously, the crew attempts to install a new mainsail from Precision Sails.2:06 They encounter initial difficulty with the bolt rope size but successfully hoist and furl the sail to test the boom angle and furling mechanism.2:19 The crew notes that the next anchorage is 100 nautical miles away, making a functional mainsail essential before splashing.8:29 They continue addressing deck penetrations and rot to ensure the vessel is watertight before returning to the water.14:49
