The crew of the sailboat Uma is modifying the vessel’s deck and hull by removing six original port lights, a chimney, and a chart plotter mount.1:05 To prepare for new, smaller, operable port lights, they are glassing over the existing openings.0:32 The process involves tapering the edges of the holes at a 12-to-1 ratio to ensure a strong bond, then using plywood templates hot-glued to the exterior of the hull as a backing surface.1:19 The crew is laminating the interior with alternating layers of chop strand mat and biaxial fiberglass.11:10 They are also removing the V-berth hatch to reconfigure the deck layout and improve forward visibility, with plans to install balsa core once it arrives.6:27 The crew notes that sourcing specialized boat-building materials like balsa core in Italy is difficult, as local shipyards typically order supplies from outside the country.20:38 Applying fiberglass to dry layers before wetting them out with resin proves to be a cleaner, more manageable technique for overhead work than pre-wetting the material.19:20
