Garrett and Ruth continue construction on their custom wooden dinghy, focusing on structural reinforcement and fairing. Garrett applies thickened epoxy to the skeg and reinforces the bottom with a heavy fiberglass layup to withstand beach landings.▶ 1:16 He uses TotalBoat Thixo for filleting the underside of seat supports, noting the product's ease of use for structural joints in tight spaces.▶ 7:49 The daggerboard trunk is fiberglassed on the interior faces for abrasion resistance and secured with temporary tabs.▶ 4:45 After drilling a pilot hole, Garrett uses a flush-cut router bit to open the daggerboard slot, though he notes that installing the skeg prematurely required freehand routing to clear the obstruction.▶ 11:14 The hull is coated with fairing compound to prepare for final sanding and painting.▶ 1:34 Separately, the couple visits their larger vessel, Red Aviva, in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, to perform maintenance, including engine servicing and sail inspection, in preparation for the Norte wind season.▶ 1:50
