O que este vídeo aborda
Peter and Sabina carry out a full below-waterline refit on their catamaran Squib during a haulout, working through hull fairing, priming, and topcoat painting over several consecutive days. Peter uses a Dremel to open and mark small hull defects — including anchor strike damage from a previous owner — then fills them with thickened epoxy mixed with microballons for easier sanding.8:41 After washing the entire hull (roughly two hours of work), he tapes the antifouling boundary and applies two full coats of primer, consuming six kilograms across more than eleven three-quarter cans, with a third coat added at the bow where abrasion loads are highest.11:26 Runs in the primer are sanded out before the first topcoat goes on.16:53 Sabina paints the windward side while Peter works underneath on his back.18:30 The mast, stripped of its furling headsail, is moved solo using a borrowed inflatable-boat trolley and a shopping cart, then stored alongside the boat.0:25 Peter and Sabina also refurbish the boarding steps: Peter sands them, Sabina applies multiple lacquer coats, and brass protective strips are reattached — though a fastener dispute over brass versus stainless screws leaves the strips temporarily off.2:45 A new bilge pump replaces the old foot-pump unit.20:35
