What this video covers

Djé spends day 223 of a refit completing a string of small maintenance jobs aboard the Outremer catamaran.Watch The main task is sealing and reinstalling the third and final portlight in a companionway section: he sands the frame, applies acetone, lays a heavy bead of 6K sealant, beds the portlight flush, and removes the masking tape inside and out.24:02 He judges this third installation the best of the three, with the sealant fully flush, and plans to test it at the next rain.24:32 Separately, he fabricates a custom water-bottle holder from a shaped piece of polyester, coats it with epoxy, and plans a two-part polyurethane topcoat.2:47 He also laminates fiberglass into the corners of a storage locker that had been left unfinished for six months, installs snap fasteners for the cabin cushions, and replaces worn trampoline slides on a beam made from a recycled mast — alternating metal and plastic slides to spread wear.10:49 He discovers the dinghy's double floor is completely flooded because a resin plug installed months earlier failed after sitting dry for four months.15:44 An interview with another sailing channel, Tabasco Pierrot, is recorded during the day.0:04 Tackling multiple small jobs in sequence proves more tiring than one sustained task.29:53
