O que este vídeo aborda

Sven Yrvind laminates the first fiberglass layer onto the outside of his 5.5-meter boat, working alone in a single session.0:14 He cuts two strips of 160-centimeter, 450-gram glass fiber cloth and applies them with epoxy over roughly one meter of hull per day.Watch Because the cloth is light, he skips the usual step of pre-wetting the wood, judging that the epoxy will penetrate adequately without it.0:14 At that pace, he estimates the entire exterior will be glassed within a week, provided there are no interruptions.0:59 The bonus segment shifts to Västervik, Sweden, on a sunny day with a light breeze, where Yrvind observes that the marina is packed with sailboats tied to the dock despite good sailing conditions — and questions why their owners are not out using them.1:47 Working alone with lightweight 450-gram cloth allows skipping the pre-wet step when laminating small hull sections.0:14
