The spinnaker tack line on the 60-foot catamaran Parlay Revival ripped the deck away from the hull during a sail near Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, creating a hole in the bow.0:22 The crew repaired the damage by grinding away broken fiberglass, gluing the deck back to the hull with thickened two-part epoxy, and tabbing the joint for structural reinforcement.0:31 The repair required grinding inside the confined forepeak, which exposed the crew to significant fiberglass dust.0:44 After sealing the deck to prevent water intrusion into the balsa core, the crew spent several days fishing for yellowtail kingfish and New Zealand red snapper in the Hauraki Gulf.7:47 They later visited Smokehouse Bay, a community-maintained facility on Great Barrier Island featuring communal pizza ovens, smokers, and wood-fired hot water baths for cruisers.10:51 The crew utilized a 14.5-foot Stabicraft aluminum tender to explore the local waters before continuing their circumnavigation of New Zealand.11:26 Proper structural tabbing of the deck-to-hull joint provides the necessary strength to prevent future delamination under high-load conditions.
