O que este vídeo aborda

The refit of the cabin exterior on the wooden sailboat Magic Carpet focuses on waterproofing the 45-year-old Port Orford cedar cabin sides.1:21 To prepare for fiberglassing, the crew applies two coats of TotalBoat penetrating epoxy, chosen for its 100% solids formula and low viscosity, which allows it to soak into the soft wood.2:47 After the epoxy cures, the crew applies TotalBoat TotalFair fairing compound to smooth the surface, compressing the compound around portholes after an hour to minimize sanding.10:03

Interior work includes priming new plywood partitions, galley components, and quarter-berth seating.10:45 The crew removes teak winch pads and a Dorade box to simplify the upcoming deck fiberglassing process.17:12 The Dorade box, which uses an offset partition to prevent water ingress from waves, is removed by drilling out bungs and using an oscillating multi-tool to cut the bedding.18:37 The crew plans to install a matching cowl vent on the starboard side to complement the existing port-side unit.20:37
