What this video covers
Arthur works to make the interior of his catamaran livable by cleaning the bilges, replacing floor panels, and installing new bedding.0:49 He uses Douglas fir planks for the new decking, securing them with lashings to prepare the vessel for a trip to a boatyard.0:44 During the refit, he repairs a fiberglass tender by plugging three hull holes with wooden sticks, duct tape, and corks.10:03 A period of strong winds causes the catamaran’s back beam to snap after it was tied to a tree, forcing him to re-secure the boat to the shore using the mast.24:46 He inspects the hull for rot, finding the bilges generally sound despite some standing water.4:27 He also installs a new floor panel and plans to use a jigsaw to finish the remaining interior woodwork.19:42 The project remains focused on basic habitability and engine maintenance before the boat can be moved to a professional facility for further repairs.33:22
