Hva denne videoen dekker

Nova Loman repairs a leaking chain plate on her 1970s-era sailboat by drying out the water-damaged balsa core and resealing the deck penetration.▶ 3:42 After identifying the leak, she uses a heater to remove moisture from the core, excavates the damaged area, and fills the void with glass fiber filler.▶ 5:51 She shapes the filler to match the deck profile before it cures to minimize sanding.▶ 9:26 To reinstall the chain plate, she applies sealant to the hardware and uses a soap-and-water solution on her fingers to smooth the bead.▶ 9:39 She notes that while proper maintenance requires addressing all chain plates to prevent future deck rot, she prioritizes only the currently leaking unit due to time constraints.▶ 14:11 The process concludes with a 24-hour cure time for the sealant.▶ 13:13 Loman also discusses her strategy for managing rigging failures at sea, noting that she once continued a passage on a single tack after a shroud broke.▶ 6:50
