O que este vídeo aborda

Sven Yrvind installs four lifting padeyes on his custom high-latitude, shallow-draft sailboat to facilitate port-side hauling. Each padeye utilizes a rope with a 5.5-tonne breaking strength, providing a combined 22-tonne capacity for a vessel weighing approximately 1.2 tonnes.▶ 2:00 The installation process involves threading the rope through the hull side, saturating the assembly with epoxy mixed with fumed silica, and reinforcing the exterior with glass fiber.▶ 3:17 Each padeye features a 15-by-15 centimeter base to distribute the load across 225 square centimeters of the hull.▶ 4:03 Yrvind applies the epoxy in stages, allowing the material to cure while green before adding subsequent layers to ensure structural integrity.▶ 3:23 These padeyes provide a significant margin of safety for lifting the boat during future maintenance or port arrivals.
