Construction of a 52-foot custom sailboat continues with the lamination of the port and starboard toe rails using fiberglass and vacuum bagging.0:53 The process involves saturating two layers of fiberglass on a table, rolling them onto the rail, and curing them under vacuum.1:38 Following the lamination, the project shifts to fairing and sanding the hull to achieve a uniform, professional finish.8:47 To bridge high and low spots, long boards—including 1200mm and 1400mm flexible sanding blocks from Flexi Sander—are used rather than orbital sanders.12:47 A guide coat of black powder reveals low spots during the sanding process, which are then filled with epoxy filler.18:54 The team notes that working in summer temperatures accelerates epoxy curing, preventing the sanding paper from gumming up.22:22 Achieving a fair hull requires multiple rounds of filling and sanding, with the goal of creating a continuous, smooth curve rather than a perfectly polished surface at this stage.11:15
