What this video covers

The crew of the catamaran *Mistertong* performs a multi-day haul-out and refit on a monohull named *Orion* at a boatyard.0:09 Work focuses on replacing through-hull fittings, which involves cutting out old hardware, sanding the surrounding fiberglass, and sealing the holes with biaxial fabric and epoxy resin. The team also scrapes the keel down to the cast iron to address water intrusion behind old mastic, a process complicated by multiple layers of accumulated bottom paint. Additional tasks include repairing holes from stanchions and deck hardware using epoxy filler, followed by sanding and priming. The crew notes the importance of these repairs for future maintenance on their own catamaran. Despite the labor-intensive nature of the work, the team coordinates with others at the yard to manage the schedule and prepare for upcoming painting. The project concludes with the final stages of sanding and sealing, aiming to ensure the repairs remain sound for at least two years.
