Building a Strong and Functional Deck: DIY Sailing Refit Project

TLDRIn this video, I work on building a strong and functional deck for my sailboat. I use Douglas fir planks and secure them to the beams with lashings for a sturdy construction. Despite some challenges and delays, I make progress and plan for future improvements.
