I have removed most of the starboard interior structure with the exception of the primary and secondary bulkheads. These are nicely glassed to the inner skin and I'll keep this structure intact as the foundation. I think I will body work the few small holes and will paint the remaining structure. A little bit of glass work before painting and I think I will reinforce the chain plates. I will leave the port side intact so I can study and re-create some of the joints. What's nice is the interior will start trending toward being fixed up. At times I find the project a bit overwhelming but I am excited to be working on this project. The core structure is amazing. I am continually impressed with this boat how far advanced it is for its time.
The shop vac has been working hard. It is placed out in the cockpit and the hose runs into the interior. Dust is a continual concern and I'm using a N95 dust mask and the vacuum. I'm able to get good ventilation as well. Until next time.
