Thanks great video.

thanks you make it look easy

Closed cell core maybe, but a lot of older Swedish boats have a balsa core in the deck. Get water in there and you have a big problem.

Great Video! I have a Passport 42 and when the woodworker came out he used epoxy on the bungs. Do you think that was unnecessary? He also drilled the bung hole only a bit deeper and put the screw back in. Does the "no screw" only apply to HR boats? Thank for posting! Love those Hallberg Rassy's!

I am asking myself the same question..

[@mikecorleone6797]

He said “bung cutter” lol

[@josephbloe5078]

Is this process unique to Halberg Rassey built yachts? I’m not sure about skipping the screw part on my Taiwan built Hans Christian, or Tayana, Choey Lee, etc.
