Hi Dom, yes the vessel for all intensive purposes was sail worthy when i first purchased her. However i have other itches that require scratching,I enjoy building, fixing and renovating. The vessel is over 20 years old and required attention to ensure it will last another 20+. The interior could have been left however, as i have the vessel readily available to work on in my spare time, and with the amount of attention too detail going on the exterior components of the vessel it will not be much extra to tidy the interior as well. Have watched a few of your adventures and find your spirit of and for adventure inspiring. Cheers Guy
Hi Guy. Great to see you are still chipping away at it. Curious to understand why you've just coved the upper sides of the stringers. Is it a moisture/condensation thing? She's looking good. Editing videos is time consuming..
Yea i wanted to prevent a place for moisture/debris to sit, the cove joint at the upper and lower hull chine on the interior fore and aft cabins are concave this presents the leading edge of the plywood as an out side edge which is prone to being abraded. By filling and then rounding the edge the paint will sit on this corner much better and prevents it being a wear edge. Its only in these spots, i can only imagine that the original builder was just light on filler for that day. You can see it in the previous videos. i have gone over the full interior and given as large as possible rounding to ALL edges and re-epoxied them. I didn't edit that video, just recorded and straight upload to UA-cam. That is pretty much what im going to try to do for the moment. I may do a bit of editing later using there editing platform later when i gain more time and confidence. Cheers
I am looking forward to the bigger picture videos, with the boat exterior, gear, etc
The exterior has not changed since the earlier videos, however i have some coming up with the beams, mast case, and engine boxes/sleds.
Cheers
that interior surface looks really good already! why not just go sailing?
