Hva denne videoen dekker

The owners of an Outremer catamaran are performing extensive structural repairs and upgrades while the vessel remains in a shipyard. The primary tasks include installing solar panels on the aft gantry, replacing rotted wooden battens in the trampoline support structure, and sealing through-hull fittings. To mount the solar panels, the crew uses a sliding ladder to reach the gantry and secures the panels with rivets. They calculate the spacing for the trampoline attachment points at 13-centimeter intervals using ChatGPT to ensure uniform distribution across the support tubes.

Structural work involves applying epoxy resin, fiberglass, and filler to the crash box and internal bulkheads. The crew also addresses localized wood rot by fabricating new solid wood battens to replace damaged sections. For the through-hull fittings, they are testing a sealant called AD4TZ after previous attempts with epoxy and Hypalon-specific adhesives failed to provide a reliable bond. The project focuses on completing these critical tasks to prepare the catamaran for relaunching.
