What this video covers
Jorman installs new windows on his sailboat, a two-person task requiring an assistant to hold the frames from the exterior while he secures them from the inside. He notes that the second window installation shows significant improvement in fit and centering compared to the first, thanks to increased practice. With the lower side windows now complete, he plans to begin designing and replacing the upper windows next. The project remains a labor-intensive process that requires consistent effort to reach completion. In response to a viewer question regarding boat purchases, Jorman advises that any buyer must haul a vessel out of the water to inspect the hull, keel, propeller, rudder, and antifouling condition. He suggests negotiating a cost-sharing agreement with the seller for the haul-out fee, which can be deducted from the final purchase price if the sale proceeds.
