O que este vídeo aborda

Arthur repairs the structural beams of his plywood-epoxy catamaran, Mahi, while preparing the vessel for relaunch. He identifies rot in the beam troughs and outer plywood sections, excavating the damaged areas before scarfing in new hardwood blocks.5:42 He sources Iroko for structural fittings and a rot-resistant, chemically treated softwood for additional repairs.21:13 During the process, he learns to use a router for precise wood removal and adopts a chisel technique that prevents the tool from digging into the grain.11:07 After a failed attempt at drilling a joint, he adjusts his approach to ensure a snug fit for the replacement blocks, which he then clamps and screws into place.21:47 The project also involves painting the hull with two coats of topcoat, requiring cleaning of rain-streaked surfaces before the final application.7:36 He plans to apply anti-fouling paint immediately before the boat enters the water.9:16
