What this video covers

Andy discovers that the mainsail currently on his 24-foot sailboat is incorrect after measuring a 21-foot luff against a 30-foot mast.▶ 1:56 The discrepancy suggests the existing sail was sourced from a different vessel, as the current dimensions would place the boom roughly 12 feet above the deck.▶ 2:32 He plans to coordinate with Precision Sails to determine the correct measurements for a new sail.▶ 12:35 Separately, the project continues with the fabrication of new cabin sole panels.▶ 5:40 After applying an initial layer of fiberglass to the underside, he trims the edges to ensure a clean surface for subsequent glassing.▶ 5:07 He uses a non-waxed polyester laminating resin and plans to finish with a wax-containing gel coat to create an air barrier for proper curing.▶ 9:51 Before installing the panels, he must strip existing one-part paint from the hull interior to ensure compatibility with a planned two-part barrier coat.▶ 10:36 The project also awaits the arrival of new Victron electrical components.▶ 13:09
