What this video covers
The crew of the 50-foot former fishing trawler Brupeg is fabricating custom storage solutions in the engine room to secure tools and equipment for sea. To manage the boat's ongoing refit and ensure gear remains stowed during heavy weather, the owners are installing sliding mesh gates on stainless steel tracks.8:08 These gates will feature push-lock clips, allowing the crew to visually confirm from the wheelhouse that storage compartments are secured without needing to physically inspect them.18:02 The design uses 25mm box section steel for the door frames and stainless mesh to ensure contents remain visible, a strategy intended to assist with organization.15:24 Additionally, the team is mounting a new toolbox on a stainless steel angle base to create a stable barrier on the workbench.9:37 The project also involves sealing pine battens with polyester resin to prevent mold and off-gassing in the hull's insulation layers.2:47 The engine room currently houses a backup, air-cooled generator, which the crew modified to provide more electrical output than their shore power connection.14:27
