O que este vídeo aborda
The refit of the wooden sailboat Yabá focuses on structural reinforcement of the stern and the installation of new through-hull fittings for a greywater system. To protect the stern post, propeller, and stern tube from potential damage, welders install custom-shaped steel plates over the hull, securing them with SikaFlex and alternating weld spots to prevent heat damage to the wood.4:59 The crew also installs two new through-hull fittings for sink drainage.15:42 Because the hull planks are nine centimeters thick, the owner modifies standard through-hulls by welding custom stainless steel tubing extensions to the threads.8:59 Installation requires chiseling away portions of the internal beam shelf to accommodate hose connectors and ensure proper tightening.18:34 The owner uses a two-stage tightening method, allowing the sealant to cure before final torque to create a rubber-like gasket seal.20:26 The project concludes with the hull plates being primed and prepared for anode attachment.7:19
