The hull of the boat features a non-structural sacrificial layer of mahogany plywood attached over the primary fiberglass laminate to protect the hull during beaching.▶ 2:04 High moisture readings in this sacrificial wood initially caused concern, but investigation confirmed the laminate remains dry and intact.▶ 2:04 Repairs to the hull include filling drilled holes with epoxy mixed with silica, sanding, and applying light filler before priming and antifouling.▶ 6:10 A structural issue occurred when the boat shifted on its supports, causing the sacrificial wood to bulge; this required repositioning the boat on wider supports to distribute the load and performing localized repairs.▶ 9:06 Additional maintenance tasks included servicing the outboard motors with new gear and engine oil, repairing a broken magnet in the port motor, and testing a cartridge-actuated cable cutter for emergency rigging release.▶ 3:47 After completing the repairs and installing the transducer housing, the boat was successfully relaunched.▶ 14:38 Understanding the construction of sacrificial hull layers prevents unnecessary concern over moisture readings in non-structural wood.
