O que este vídeo aborda
Brett and Jade Evans have installed a custom-built, carbon fiber hard dodger and davit system on their sailboat.1:19 The structure replaces their previous canvas and stainless steel setup, incorporating integrated rain gutters for water collection and a mounting surface for solar panels.6:09 To prevent structural twisting under the weight of a 120-pound dinghy, the pair plans to add reinforcement gussets to the davit legs.10:59 Despite the size of the enclosure, which exceeds the dimensions of a Honda Civic, the use of carbon fiber instead of fiberglass or S-glass resulted in a total weight comparable to the original canvas and tubing.15:15 The project required extensive fairing and sanding, with detailed construction steps documented on the separate Expedition Engineering channel.1:31 The team intends to install non-breakable plastic windows to complete the enclosure before resuming their circumnavigation.6:53
