Headliner

16 May - The Sail Loft Canvas girl came by today to assess the headliner and cockpit cushions

• She has several ideas on the headliner, she is going to work up estimates etc for us to consider

• The cockpit cushions are also being completely redesigned to make them more functional and more comfortable. Again she is going to work up some alternative approaches with materials for us to consider

2 Jun - headliner from forward berths removed. Found additional rot around the prisms.

4 Jun - Met with the sail loft. We are discussing the best way to create and then reinstall the new headliner, nothing definitive yet.

9 Jun - All headliner is now removed and measured to be rehabbed

10 Jun - rebuild plan is taking shape - cut plan for new plywood is settled and vinyl and foam is at the sail loft. Ready to order replacement plywood.

Sail Locker & Termites

The termites were unknown to all parties at the time of the sale. The fumigation and tenting cost $4K but did an effective job of killing all the bugs (termites, roaches, etc) inside the boat. As we got into digging through the guts of the boat, we were able to determine the extent of the termite damage. The biggest issues where in the sail/ chain locker where they had consumed most of the wood present. The whole area will need to be rebuilt. So far we have cut out the primary floor and support as well as the partial bulkhead between the sail locker and the chain locker.

The drawings on the left are the sole of the sail locker and the bulkhead shape.

AFT Berth

The picture to the right shows the port cockpit deck drain hose and connection. It's been leaking for quite some time and the plywood right underneath the cockpit fiberglass is badly rotted (water damage) around the drain.

The air vent for the main engine exhaust is also damaged and has been leaking and will need to be replaced.

The hot water heater is going to be relocated into this berth along with the fresh water pump (under the AFT berth). The solar panel MPPT Controllers (Starboard storage area) are also going to be located near the hot water heater (Starboard storage area).

The autopilot computer and ram controller, and the Hull Shield controller for the 2 units for the rudder and running gear are going to be located under the AFT Berth along with the Air Conditioner.

Lazarette

The termites came all the way back here, but the primary issue is water damage. All of the wood in the Lazarette will need to be replaced.

Propane locker needs to be cut out as we are not going to use propane and the space is better used within the larger lazarette

Salon

The Salon area is primarily water damage from leaking overhead hatches and dripping onto the cushions which held the water against the wood they were resting on.

There may be more wood removed, but so far we have removed the floors of 2 of the 3 storage sections (the 1st 2 will be the home for the new batteries) and the bench seat. The lower area of the back rest also has peeling veneer, but we have not decided our approach there yet.

The drawings on the right are the salon cushion bench and floors of the storage below.

Forward Berths & Heads

Both soles in the forward berths need to be replaced due to termite damage.

The port head was only partially decommissioned and the associated thru hulls were not removed. We will close them as part of this rehab and clean up the abandoned plumbing in the area.

Also there were 4 transducers located in the hull in this area. We will only use one of these thru hulls for the new DST.

5 Jun -

Turns out the termite area was a repair after the boat was made. There is a clear cut line separating the damaged area from the undamaged area. It is not clear how the sole is attached to the frame/ hull of the boat. Reassessing how to do this repair.
