What this video covers

The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform structural repairs and modifications to the vessel's sugar scoops (transom steps) to improve rigidity and aesthetics.Watch The process involves removing damaged sections of the existing structure, sanding the area beneath the nacelle, and installing new plywood reinforcements.0:58 To ensure structural integrity, the crew uses epoxy to bond the new plywood and creates epoxy-filled inserts to securely mount a swim ladder.24:45 The repair requires precise cutting and shaping from both the interior and exterior to maintain the hull's lines.6:05 After completing the structural work, the team applies primer and Coppercoat antifouling paint to the finished surfaces.39:37 The project concludes with the crew preparing for the boat's relaunch, noting that the modifications significantly improve the vessel's overall condition. The repair demonstrates that using epoxy-impregnated plywood and proper structural reinforcement can effectively restore and stiffen damaged transom sections on a wooden-core catamaran.
