Keeping it classy. I find that sailing hats are very necessary.
The inner hull after some of the rot got stripped away. This area was soaked with rot fix, inlaid with new cedar, and glassed over.
The offending setup before removal. Really it should have worked fine since the holes were epoxied, but no such luck after a couple decades.
An object lesson on the value of a marine surveyor, who found this before I bought it. That's the mast step timber (or lack thereof) and expose keel bolts. You can see the rot in the left side of the photo and the exposed hull where the glass was ground away. Did I mention the value of a surveyor? Steve Berg was his name.

The cedar strips on the interior, epoxied-over. This kind of stuff gets my dad (a wood/epoxy boat builder) all excited.
Her new name after laying her up to replace some rotten floor timbers. Step 1: don't bore holes through wooden timbers to run your water lines. Step 2: otherwise it costs 8K to cut them out and replace/re-glass them. Step 3: varnishing the transom is a pain in the butt.
On day two of her first trip the oil pressure sensor blew clear off. It looked like the engine had been shot. We were screwed. But I'd just made a sandwich so I ate that first, and took this photo of my gal and our skipper starting the task of making sure we didn't turn into a mobile Superfund site. Don't worry, I helped.
