Hva denne videoen dekker

Refitting an 88-foot wooden boat requires a precise sequence of hull preparation and painting to ensure the anti-fouling remains effective upon launch. The crew cleans the hull of barnacles and biological growth, grinds down to bare wood, and applies epoxy resin to seal exposed areas before priming.▶ 0:43 Metal components near the propeller and rudder receive epoxy primer to prevent corrosion, while stainless steel hardware is taped off or coated to avoid galvanic reaction.▶ 6:52 The team replaces sharp, protruding nuts on the hull and chain plates with rounded, half-inch versions to prevent injury and protect new sails from snagging.▶ 3:57 Because anti-fouling paint degrades when exposed to air and sun, the final application is delayed until immediately before the scheduled launch.▶ 4:50 The project timeline remains dependent on the movement of neighboring vessels in the boatyard, forcing the crew to balance hull finishing with secondary tasks like fabricating a new boom for a self-tacking jib and welding a gooseneck assembly.▶ 19:54
