What this video covers

The owners of the catamaran Mistertong perform structural repairs on the vessel while anchored near Sainte-Anne, Martinique.0:06 The primary project involves repairing rot at the mast base caused by water ingress through the genoa track. The crew removes the damaged wood, performs a graft using plywood, and seals the area with resin and wood flour. They reinstall the genoa track using 8mm wood screws set into resin-filled holes, applying Sika sealant to ensure a watertight fit. Additionally, the crew rebuilds the engine compartment hatch, which had suffered from water intrusion.20:14 Initial attempts using fiberglass cloth and resin fail due to air pockets, requiring the crew to sand the area and re-apply materials to ensure proper structural integrity and drainage. The owners also share their experience transporting their French Bulldog, Boudin Blanc, from Nice to Martinique via Corsair, noting the specific airline requirements for flat-faced dog breeds. The crew uses white vinegar as a cost-effective alternative to chemical solvents for cleaning resin tools.
