O que este vídeo aborda
Refitting the 38-ft sailboat Athena involves rounding the deck-hull joint, fairing the hull, and applying Coppercoat antifouling.0:36 To round the sharp deck-hull joint, the process requires marking guidelines on both the horizontal and vertical surfaces, removing excess material with a random orbital sander using 80-grit abrasive, and finishing the radius with a longboard.1:27 Pencil lines or black guide-coat powder serve as indicators for identifying low spots during the fairing process.7:49 The hull requires six coats of Coppercoat, applied wet-on-tacky at 20-minute intervals.10:30 Additional tasks include removing the Hydrovane wind vane for maintenance, installing cockpit through-hull drains, and fitting new cabinet latches in the galley using a 25mm or 26mm Forstner bit and custom drilling jigs.12:45 The project concludes with dry-fitting galley trim and preparing interior surfaces for varnish.21:53 Consistent use of guide marks and systematic sanding ensures a flush, fair surface before final painting.
