O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of Supernova performs maintenance on their dinghy and installs a custom diving board while anchored in Sint Maarten. To repair the dinghy, they remove the tubes, clean the fabric with a solvent from Polymarine, and apply a two-part adhesive while the pontoons are inflated to ensure a proper bond.12:56 The repair requires 48 hours to cure.14:17

For the diving board project, the crew sources stainless steel parts from FKG Rigging and helicoils from Antillium Paint to mount the structure to the boat.14:50 They construct a springboard mechanism using repurposed dock springs, welding the components to the deck.19:46 After installation, the springboard fails during initial testing, as the springs lack the necessary structural integrity for the load.33:27 The crew decides to abandon the spring mechanism in favor of a hard-mounted diving board.34:46 Additionally, the crew installs a new stack pack sail bag, which requires drilling into the mast for attachment.2:09
