LOAD PATHS - Replacing the aluminium front beam with a carbon fibre one

How did we know it was ok to change our aluminium beam with a carbon one? Take a behind the scenes look at why we decided to change our aluminium front beam on our Catana42s for a carbon fibre front beam and longeron. Shayne talks about the amount of load our catamaran sees at the front end and why we decided a fixed beam arrangement was a better idea for the way we sail our boat. We also talk about the purpose of the seagull striker and martingale arrangement and why we don't need any extra wires for our bow pole. It's an insider's view into the thought processes behind our new carbon front beam and longeron setup. Lots of engineering speak here so be warned :) For more information check out our blog - https://youngbarnacles.com/lets-talk-about-load-paths-replacing-our-catamarans-aluminium-front-beam-with-a-carbon-fibre-one/ Become a member of our site https://youngbarnacles.com/plans/all-access-memberships/ Or follow us on the socials : On instagram - https://www.instagram.com/youngbarnacles/?hl=en On facebook - https://www.facebook.com/youngbarnacles/ Click subscribe if you enjoyed this video and press that bell button if you would like to be notified every time we upload something new
