O que este vídeo aborda
The refit of the pocket catamaran Squib involves several structural and interior modifications, primarily focusing on battery storage and salon furniture. To house four lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, a custom wooden box is constructed, reinforced with epoxy, and laminated with fiberglass matting to improve fire resistance.5:07 The interior corners of the box are finished with epoxy fillets to ensure structural integrity.7:30
Interior upgrades include replacing a heavy, five-legged salon table base with a new mounting system to increase foot space.10:33 This requires fabricating a custom wooden support block to level the mounting plate with existing deck structures.11:56 The table’s underside is sanded and filled with epoxy mixed with sawdust to repair old screw holes.13:19 During the process, several seized screws are removed using a screw extractor after epoxy accidentally seeped into the threads.19:03 Additionally, custom wooden pedestals are fabricated to angle deck-mounted rope clutches and fairleads toward the winches, ensuring a straight lead for the lines.14:39
