O que este vídeo aborda

A Sandpiper 32 schooner undergoes a comprehensive refit to address structural rot, ballast failure, and system modernization. The project begins by removing 1,100 pounds of corroded steel ballast plates that had expanded and cracked the fiberglass tabbing; these are replaced with lead bricks sealed in polyester resin.5:37 The cabin sole is rebuilt, and the interior layout is modified to accommodate a new 48-volt electric propulsion system powered by a 120-amp-hour lithium iron phosphate battery.13:26 Structural repairs include replacing water-damaged bulkheads and a rotted plywood pop-top core with Divinycell foam.13:00 The original integral waste tank is removed and replaced with a simple bucket toilet system, while a new 37-gallon integral water tank is constructed using Divinycell and the hull as sides.11:16 The schooner’s pop-top is shortened to allow for permanent companionway tracks and instrument mounting.15:14 The refit concludes with a complete electrical overhaul, including a 1000-watt pure sine wave inverter and a portable gas generator for range extension.19:22
