Looking aft and up at the load bearing header that supports the mast. Originally the 3/4" bulk head had bolted to this header for vertical compression. I installed 3x3" oak studs on either side of the doorway for support and only a 1/2" thick plywood bulkhead.

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.

I wished the carpet backing and glue came off as easy as the carpet.

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.

She hasn't moved in God knows how long. Getting her ready to go. I have a Ford F150 and thought i might need an f250 4x4 to pull her out but was pleasantly surprised when i let the tung down on my hitch, the trailer only brought my truck down couple of inches. The boat was nicely balanced on the trailer. I pulled her home the 40 miles without much trouble, nice and slow. Hooked up some temp lights and away we went.

The port side took most of the Florida sun. The original decals are all but gone where as the you could still see them on the starboard side.

You can see where the original white stripe decals used to be. I plan to paint those back on with the original "S2 26" logo to the rear of the stripes.

I found the original short settee to be somewhat useless so I built a little chart reading desk and settee that can also be used for counter space when cooking.

Milled new oak tracks for the black sliders. Now I'm able to lift out the sliders by pulling up into the deeper upper track and pulling out on the bottom of the slider. The original plastic crappy tracks did not allow this.
