Formosa41 - Formosa 41

Front boards are cut and test fit. I had to reinstall the dinghy davits to calculate the holes I needed to drill through the back piece. I then cut the two ugliest holes I have ever done...they weren't photo worthy. Next up, pull it all apart, fiberglass the propane locker box, reinstall everything, fiberglass everything else.

I hated to get rid of the teak deck, but at the same time, I'm glad I won't have have to maintain all that teak. Either way, it had to come up. The core of the deck had rotted and made some squishy spots. It was a very messy job as after all the teak was removed the whole thing needed to have a layer of epoxy ground off, that I'm sure was there from from a previous repair. The issue of the rotten core is infamous in these boats, and why they are often referred to as Leaky Teakies. The problem is that all that teak is screwed through fiberglass into the core. If the teak deck is not meticulously maintained, every one of those million screw holes eventually leaks into the core.

Found another picture of Farley's boat, Happy Adventure. #sailing

New tank for Paradise!

Ouch!

What a sad Friday, I was lowering the keel and lost the cable that was attached to the crank … And BOOM goes the keel against the boat ..😪

Hmm, works hard for no pay....what's this Tom doing for the next few months? I'll pay him double! Lol

Deck off 😢

Special thanks to Tom Shaw for all his unpaid hard work!

WOW! That looks awesome!
