It is a real privilege to watch a master craftsman at work. But it is a rare blessing to hear an articulate one explain so clearly the whys and wherefores of his actions. This project needs to be included in all schools of boat building what so ever. Thanks to both of you.

"attention to detail"? We are talking fiberglass string directions and "dentist tools" here. And somehow he is still saying things are "a bit rough". Uncanny... When they splash it in salt water full of fish and microbes and when winds start to pressure and rip those joints, I think I‘ll cry.

At some point in the future, I really hope... and how could you not... you put together a very long episode showing a before and after of all the work you've done in all the different spaces. She is starting to look as beautiful as Magic Carpet I, so much so that it's hard to actually remember what she looked like when you two started out. In the not too distant future, you'll be able to walk to the back of the train and enjoy just how far you've gone instead of always being at the front of the train looking down the track to see just how much more you have to go.

Hey Adalino! It's probably already too late for this advice, given filming and publishing schedules, but if not, you might want to think about providing drains in the lower edges of the butterfly hatch window frames. As built (and presumably originally waterproofed with linseed oil putty) the heeling of the vessel causes the recessed window pane to act as mini pool, which creates a tiny hydrostatic pressure force, which helps the natural capillary action in microscopic cracks to enable water to schmooze inside the window and into the boat around the edges of the glass. One way to help prevent this is to prevent the 'pooling' of the water in the recesses that hold the panes of glass. There's more than one way to do this, but one I have seen used before (trained as a carpenter in joinery and have done this myself) is to leave 'breaks' in the sealant on the lower edge of each pane, and cutting a bevelled 'trench' as a drain to take water away from the surface of the glass. This does require the rebate to be properly waterproofed, but easy enough with brushed on epoxy, and a few coats of varnish to protect that required in the area where the edge of the rebate (and new drain trench) is exposed to the elements. Another way is to use glazing battens - like small sticks 10mm x 10mm (-ish) along the base of the glass instead of a 45 degree bevelled slope of putty or other sealant, and cut notches in the glass-facing side of these to act as tiny mini scuppers, which again drain to a bevelled trench in the face of the window rail. You probably already understand that the main issue is the differential expansion rates of timber, sealant and glass, that creates the capillaries in the first place, and it's possible some whizz-bang modern sealant might be capable of matching these different rates (which of course the old linseed putty could not), but there is still the pooling effect of rainwater and/or spray, especially when heeled. Not sure if your butterfly hatch is steep enough to prevent this without drains, but thought I'd mention it, knowing how particular you are, and as Maya noted the hatches were already leaking previously, so waterproofing here is paramount. Hope that is useful. Cheers Mark in Oz.

As a ship structural engineer that thrust bulkhead seems pretty bomb proof to me. With all those additional layers of e glass over the bulkhead I would suspect those take the grunt of the (bending) load and the aluminium plate itself is only important directly in way of the thrust bearing itself.

Ultimately the fiberglass will debond from the aluminum. The aluminum will oxidize under the epoxy coating and then moisture will enter that cavity and mold will develop. You might be successful if the aluminum is totally encapsulated by epoxy and that means lining the bolt holes with fiber tubes that will bond to the epoxy as well as sealing off all the edges. But if moisture gets in, and it freezes, then the bond will seriously start to deteriorate. Even if G10 wasn't conveniently available you would have been better served by laying up your own. Keep the pattern. Someday you'll come by a piece of G10 and you should acquire it keep it for when the failure occurs. BTW if you're ever on the east coast of the USA, I have a piece of G10 I can give to you.

Applying the first coat of epoxy with a fresh scouring pad will break the aluminium oxide layer and immediately seal it, ensuing a bond. Works on most materials to key epoxy into it.

I was wondering how you were going to attach the thrust bulkhead so it could handle all the stresses. Wrapping it completely in multiple layers of fiberglass ought to do it. With all that unidirectional glass - most impressive. Maya, I remember years ago when you were talking about lighting in the cabin and the importance of aesthetics for what is essentially your film studio. Going the extra mile on the beams was so worth it to create the best possible environment for filming for many years to come.

I've been watching your channel for a while and love your attention to detail and love and care of your boat, so I don't like to say anything negative, but you could well come to regret laminating the aluminium thrust bulkhead like that. You don't have 30 seconds before the oxide layer forms in abraded aluminum, it forms immediately. The way to get some bond strength on aluminium with epoxy is to sand through a layer of epoxy before it cures so the liquid layer excludes the air as raw metal is exposed. Even then it's not great, with the flexing that bulkhead will experience and with any entry point along the edges or where the CV joint is attached salt water will eventually make its way in and being starved if oxygen under the fiberglass it will start turning the aluminum into that dreaded white powder. It will probably last a few years, but watch it carefully and keep plenty of tefgel around any exposed edges. IMO a G10 bulkhead would've been worth waiting for.
