What this video covers

Johan constructs custom interior bulkhead radius corners for the coachroof area of his boat, utilizing vacuum bagging and epoxy lamination techniques. To ensure structural alignment, he prioritizes installing these bulkhead corner pieces before mounting the coachroof deck.▶ 0:37 He creates the radius shapes using a PVC pipe mold and addresses a minor indentation caused by a vacuum hose pipe by filling it with thickened epoxy.▶ 6:39 When a radius piece interferes with a door opening, he modifies the design by adjusting the cutting files and inserting a foam filler piece to maintain the necessary clearance.▶ 13:53 After finalizing the corners, he shifts focus to the coachroof installation, planning to use temporary support beams and a central compression post to maintain the deck's shape and support rigging loads.▶ 19:30 He intends to laminate the coachroof panel on a flat table before lifting it into position to ensure a rigid, even surface.▶ 23:17
