What this video covers
Johan and Malin continue the fairing and lamination process on their boat build, focusing on the deckhouse, cockpit, and stern. To expedite the labor-intensive sanding of curved surfaces, Johan modifies a pneumatic dual-piston straight-line sander by attaching a flexible Flexisander base.12:17 The resulting tool proves too violent and vibrates excessively, leading him to revert to the original rigid base for flat areas while continuing to hand-sand curved sections.15:38 Lamination work involves applying two layers of carbon fiber followed by two layers of 600-gram biaxial fiberglass to the PET foam deckhouse interior.16:13 Johan also calibrates a CO2 laser cutter for precision work with plywood and acrylic.0:29 The project requires significant quantities of 407 low-density filler, with seven kilograms consumed during the current phase.24:20 The crew balances this repetitive construction work with hikes in Maglehem to maintain motivation during the long-term build.9:29
