The First WOOD TRIM Goes On Our Homebuilt Catamaran (MJ Sailing - Ep 301)
September 09, 2023 by MJ Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:58 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We take a very exciting step this week, and it is to begin a brand new part of finish work inside our catamaran. After getting our hands on some riff cut white oak this past spring, we’re now ready to begin trimming it down and installing the hardwood trim which will outline all of our cabinet doors.
Before the installation process can even begin, we need to measure and cut the pieces to size. But since they came to us with rough edges, we also need to mill them down to create smooth finishes. Matt’s last task, is to run them along our table saw (the router was giving us trouble) in order to create the t-shape which will fit into our de-cored edges.
When the pieces are ready to go in, we bond them with our TotalBoat wood epoxy, and use the level to get them plumb, as well as a dozen or so clamps to keep them in place. The next day Matt sands off any excess wood epoxy, and then it’s time to use our TotalBoat epoxy fairing compound to fill in low spots and gaps.
This takes just a few rounds, but we’re left with surfaces which are completely flush to the wall and straight lines from the trim, which we’ll be able to tape off when it’s time for the paint to go on.
In less than a week we were able to mill, bond and fair all the pieces in the owner’s hallway, so it feels like a huge move forward for us!
We hope you enjoy.

Sailing the world to see the world! We're a couple of high school sweethearts in our late 30's that have been on the move for 9 years; creating videos of the ups, the downs, our triumphs and our trials. After circumnavigating the North Atlantic in our last boat Serendipity, (1989 Sabre Targa 34), we took on a 2 year complete refit of our new boat Elements of Life - a custom aluminum 37' monohull. After sailing her to the Arctic, we sold her in 2020 to begin our newest project of building a 42 ft catamaran.
