What this video covers

Construction of a 50-foot sailboat interior continues with the fabrication of bulkheads for the day head and navigation station.4:09 Johan and Malin utilize 600-gram Biax fiberglass and epoxy, noting that total epoxy consumption for the project has reached 1350 kilograms.2:39 The team employs vacuum bagging for lamination, though rising ambient temperatures of 17–18 degrees Celsius complicate the curing process and limit the size of sections that can be laminated in a single session.11:30 Johan uses a shaper and cutting files to shape foam core panels, including a bulkhead that defines the deckhouse profile.14:54 This specific bulkhead confirms that the boat will have 8 centimeters of clearance beneath a structural barn beam when the hull is eventually moved on skates.20:18 The current build phase focuses on tabbing bulkheads into the hull and preparing the layout for the guest cabin, nav station, and day head.19:45
