What this video covers

Sven Yrvind positions the starboard keel on his boat in preparation for final bonding with epoxy. He installs two additional structural strong points on each side of the hull to support the keel assembly.▶ 0:10 During the installation, he cleans a chain-washed component with acetone after it becomes contaminated with oil.▶ 0:44 To align the keel with the hull, Yrvind uses a puller to shift the boat’s position, initially struggling with the mechanical leverage before correcting the line configuration to achieve the necessary movement.▶ 2:01 Although the initial fit between the keel and the hull curvature is imperfect, Yrvind plans to fill the gaps with epoxy, which he describes as an effective composite material for correcting structural irregularities.▶ 4:00 The process concludes with the keel secured and ready for the application of epoxy to finalize the attachment.▶ 3:54
