I wished the carpet backing and glue came off as easy as the carpet.
The void in the middle is the mast base. Originally, they had a block of hard wood in there. Later, after I re-laminated the cabin ceiling I drilled a hole into this void from the top and filled with a fiber impregnated epoxy mix from west marine systems.
lower layer of glass cut away from the cabin roof for re-lamination. Much of the balsa core had to be chiseled away from the upper layer since not all of it was rotted. That turned out to be a much bigger job than I anticipated. The bottom of the top layer of glass needs to be pretty smooth when bonding the divinycell up to it.
Main bulkhead ripped out where head used to be.

It sure was nice when the windows were out. Got a welcome cross breeze. It gets hot in south FL in the summer.
The galley base was solid so its staying. The counter top needs replacing though. If you look close at the base, you can see a gray line about 8 inches from the bottom. At some point it had standing water in it.
Anything with rot got ripped out. That partition on the starboard and the forward birth were solid so they stay.
