Peter and Sabina continue the refit of their pocket catamaran, Squib, by installing structural bulkheads in the starboard hull to support a new freezer unit.0:16 To ensure structural integrity, Peter cuts plywood bulkheads to size and fixes them parallel using wooden spacers before bonding them with thickened epoxy.2:43 He applies three layers of 10–12 cm wide fiberglass matting over the epoxy fillets to secure the bulkheads to the hull.6:57 During the curing process, he maintains a 10-degree Celsius environment using a 1000-watt electric heater, supplemented by solar power.9:46 To prevent hull deformation while working, he places temporary floorboards across the bilge.10:06 Separately, Peter constructs a louvered door frame for the aft cabin to conceal technical wiring and equipment.14:38 He modifies the frame to accommodate the slight curvature of the bulkhead and installs four discounted louvered doors using standard hinges.14:57 The project concludes with the installation of 2 cm Styrodur insulation into the freezer compartment housing.19:04
