What this video covers

Dan and Kika complete the interior painting of their boat, Uma, after ten days of sanding, fairing, and priming.2:21 They choose to spray the interior while the boat remains gutted to ensure even coverage and avoid overspray on finished systems.2:37 The pair applies a single, robust coat of satin paint, noting that the finish shows minimal orange peel texture and no runs.7:28 With the painting phase finished, they plan to begin installing major systems, including tanks, batteries, and the inverter, followed by interior design elements like flooring and cabinetry.9:04 To compare their progress, they use the VR sailing application Marineverse to explore a digital recreation of the boat's previous interior.10:37 This virtual model includes precise details such as the original layout, bookshelf contents, and hardware.13:57 The couple intends to eventually add the new interior design to the VR platform to contrast the space-saving improvements of the current refit against the previous configuration.18:47
