Working on a prototype for my new light fixtures. A little sanding, round over the edge and a few coats of varnish and they'll be awesome!
New panel arrived today, this time undamaged.
Hatch #2 restoration starting...
The weather is not cooperating for outside the boat work. Condensation on the tarp means it's basically raining INSIDE the tent. Moving work to the inside of the boat for now...which is needed desperately! I've been neglecting the inside too long. Time for some clean-up before deciding what project to work on. Wiring? Fuel lines and mounting new tank? So much to do...
Maybe when I'm done restoring my 41' I'll trade it in on the 51'. Love these boats!
Re-core continues at a snails pace.
One more piece on.
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!
