Two steps forward, one step back! Had to cut a new hole in the deck to make repairs below. Just too tight of a squeeze to fit my butt in the anchor locker and reach around the Sampson posts... Also, refinished the dragons for the boat!
Making new chainplates for Paradise.
My old Yamaha 25
Once the teak was all removed and deck cleaned up, the top layer of fiberglass is cut off and rotten core scraped out. Then the lower layer of glass is sanded with 40 grit and new marine ply epoxied in place. The ply was cut using the top layer I cut off as a template. Next up, the top layer will get epoxied back on, then all the seams get glassed using 4 or 6" fiberglass tape.
New tank for Paradise!
Cut out the holes for the portlights on the galley side. Can't wait to finish the port side so I can cut that side. Down below already feels so open with just the one side done. One more step forward...so many more to go!
Very nice Formosa 51 / Hudson Force 50...
Teardown and beautification of the bowsprit.
The Restoration of my sailboat, a 1975 Formosa 41' ketch...and a few odds and ends PNW Oregon Washington
