What this video covers

The Scandi 42, a 42-foot deck saloon sailboat designed by Ulf Bregeberg, features a lightweight 7.5-ton displacement achieved through vacuum-infused sandwich construction and wood-composite furniture.3:02 The vessel includes a doghouse for protected night watches, a Marine Deck synthetic surface, and a layout comprising an aft cabin, a forward master cabin, and a galley positioned forward of the saloon.5:27 During a recent Atlantic crossing from Cape Verde to Grenada, the boat maintained an average speed of 7.1 knots over 12.5 days.5:00

Separately, construction continues on a custom hull project involving the lamination of the bow and stem.10:10 The process utilizes four layers of 450g Biax fiberglass applied over a solid oak stem.10:20 Epoxy is preferred over vinyl ester for its superior waterproofing, lower toxicity, and higher resale value, despite the higher material cost.18:47 To manage off-gassing during daytime lamination, a primer layer is applied to the bow before the fiberglass application.11:33
