O que este vídeo aborda
Garrett and Ruth are performing a major hull and cabin refit on their 35-foot boat, *Red Aviva*, while hauled out in a boatyard.▶ 1:54 The project focuses on structural reinforcement and waterproofing, specifically fiberglassing the cabin-to-deck joints and refastening the hull.▶ 3:47 Garrett uses a rotary sander to remove old material and prepare the hull for new fasteners, noting that the tool significantly reduces the time required for scraping.▶ 1:05 To fill the numerous holes left by the refastening process, the pair uses a baggie to distribute epoxy efficiently.▶ 15:03 Ruth reinforces the cabin seams with six-inch biaxial fiberglass tape, experimenting with applying the mat side down to improve the lay-down, despite previous debates about fairing ease.▶ 23:00 They also employ traditional boat-building techniques, such as using cotton washers soaked in tar around fasteners to prevent water ingress before the wood swells.▶ 20:53 The crew aims to complete the port side and move to the starboard side before splashing the boat in approximately two to three weeks.▶ 15:17
