What this video covers
The owners of a catamaran complete the structural modifications to the boat's stern skirts, finalizing the fiberglass work on the transom extensions.▶ 26:31 The project involved building wooden forms to establish the angle of the transom, filling gaps with Erex foam, and applying multiple layers of fiberglass to ensure structural integrity and watertightness.▶ 17:07 To protect the hull from wave impact, the crew installed wooden cleats near the portlights, which act as buffers against incoming seas.▶ 10:51 The team also integrated custom-shaped handholds into the curves of the new skirts to improve ergonomics and safety for boarding.▶ 17:43 Throughout the process, the owners prioritized precise alignment and symmetry between the port and starboard sides, using a bubble level to maintain consistent geometry while the boat remained on the hard.▶ 1:26 The final phase of the work included sanding, fairing, and preparing the surfaces for future application of Coppercoat antifouling.▶ 13:05 By completing these modifications while the vessel was already hauled out, the owners avoided the need for an additional, costly yard period.▶ 43:21
