O que este vídeo aborda
Tempered glass salon windows go into Delos 2.0 in this build update, with the installation carried out by Ryan and Lee from Alfab, the company that fabricated all framed and direct-glazed windows for the catamaran.1:10 The process covers template fitting, ceramic banding to block UV from degrading the polyurethane adhesive, dam tape, bonding agent application, and a 24-hour cure before exterior coping beads are run.3:10 Brian explains why tempered glass edges shatter on impact and how a flexible urethane adhesive accommodates hull movement without shearing.2:24 Separately, Bill permanently glues down the cabin sole so cabinetry work can begin, and wiring runs proceed for the flatwinder and X-bolt.16:37 The second major segment is a 6 a.m. video call with Mike from Sea and Land Yachtworks in Rhode Island covering the DC electrical architecture: two 25 kW continuous-rated electric motors from Combi Systems in the Netherlands, a 48-volt high-power bus drawing up to 900 amps from six parallel battery banks managed through Simply DC boxes, and a 12-volt low-power bus fed by a bidirectional 48-to-12-volt DC-DC converter, with Selden winches and navigation gear on the 12-volt side.21:21 The 48/12-volt split was chosen over the original SV Delos 24/12-volt arrangement because 12-volt components are available worldwide.29:55
