What this video covers

Sven Yrvind is fitting drain systems into the mast holders on his Oceanic canoe, which is currently upside down during construction.▶ 0:37 The mast holders are side-by-side, and the drain design must allow water that enters to exit through the hull wall.▶ 0:37 He has fabricated custom pieces with abrasive surfaces to prevent lead from sliding and a central hole sized for a pipe to pass through the wall.▶ 0:59 Simultaneously, he is installing a handhold in the same area while access is convenient.▶ 1:07 The epoxy needs to cure before the next step: drilling the hole through the hull wall and gluing in the pipe bend.▶ 0:59 The plan is to return late that night once the epoxy is dry to complete the drilling and bonding.▶ 1:24
