What this video covers
The crew of the vessel *Squib* performs a series of interior refit tasks while assessing the boat's condition following a flood event. After curing for two days, the new galley board is sanded, rounded at the edges, and filled with epoxy to address voids and screw holes.0:13 The crew cuts the 2-meter board to a final length of 2.04 meters, requiring precise trimming to accommodate the hull's curvature and a cutout for a navigation light cable.6:22 Following the installation of the galley board, the crew installs sliding rails for a storage drawer.10:33
The refit also includes modifying the gas stove mounting to allow for gimbaling.12:11 The crew uses temporary spacers to determine the necessary thickness for the stove's suspension, aiming to ensure the unit can swing freely during heavy seas.13:25 The project involves measuring the stove's height and clearance for the gas line to avoid interference with the bulkhead.15:31 Separately, the crew inspects *Squib* after a flood, noting that while the boat remained dry inside, significant amounts of mud and sand accumulated around the hull and under the keel.3:24
