What this video covers

The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform extensive structural repairs and modifications to the vessel’s stern steps and anchor davit. The crew spends several days sanding and applying fiberglass and epoxy to the underside of the nacelle and structural beams, a process complicated by the physical strain of working overhead.2:16 To resolve an anchor-clearance issue, the owner modifies the davit and consults a welder to fabricate a stainless steel U-bracket, which serves as a protective buffer for the hull.22:42 The team also plans to reconfigure the transom steps by extending the lower sections to improve access for the dinghy and swimmers.35:08 This involves cutting away damaged sections, fabricating new wooden supports, and applying multiple layers of filler and fairing compound to achieve a smooth finish before priming.32:53 The project requires iterative testing of the anchor deployment to ensure the modified geometry prevents the chain or anchor from fouling the hull.21:00
