What this video covers
The owner of a 22-foot sailboat structural rebuild project completes the hull-to-deck joint by applying thickened epoxy and a layer of 1708 fiberglass cloth to the aft sections.1:55 Because of limited access in the stern, the builder fabricates extended handles for a paintbrush and a squeegee to reach the joints.1:31 The project continues with the design and fabrication of interior components, including a bulkhead for the head area and a battery bank enclosure using foam core and plywood templates.5:50 To maximize galley utility, the builder designs a foldable, L-shaped cutting surface that slides out from hidden compartments.8:02 A custom galley sink is created by using a plastic bin from Walmart as a mold, coating it in Vaseline, and layering it with 1708 fiberglass.13:54 The resulting sink provides significantly more depth and volume than the original store-bought metal unit.14:49 The builder confirms the mold releases cleanly and fits the intended galley cutout.15:55
