What this video covers
The crew of the 10-year rebuild project *Brupeg*, a former fishing trawler, completes the interior fit-out of a forward cabin by installing plywood wall panels, insulation, and structural framing. To prevent condensation and mold, the team installs standoff panels to create an air gap between the hull and the interior walls, sealing the assembly with epoxy.▶ 4:25 They use 4mm plywood for the bulkheads, cutting 45-degree angles at joints to minimize gaps before applying fairing compound to create a smooth, sealed surface.▶ 2:37 For insulation, the crew replaces polystyrene with flexible fiberglass batting, which proves faster to install and allows for a double-layer application.▶ 15:22 The cabin ventilation system utilizes four redundant computer fans, a configuration the crew reports has remained reliable for nine years.▶ 20:38 After filling the vessel’s 5,300-liter potable water tank and completing the cabin walls, the crew prepares to depart for Magnetic Island to continue the build.▶ 22:11
