The area under the mast ready for final sanding and paint. I repaired the core using usual the usual technique for cored deck repair but added a small elevation where the mast plate attaches.
I installed NewFoundMetals Trimatrix ports. The ports have a rubber gasket and do not need sealent. So far the only trouble i have had is getting the adjustment right on the latches. So far no leaks
new forward hatch and trimatrix ports installed, also shows repaired area of mast and chainplates. Note that i elevated the areas of attachment to try to decrease tendency to leak. Paint matches ok. Maybe i should have tried to use gelcoat.
Disaster! The epoxy bled through the paint on the bulkheads. The paint is so soft it can be scraped with fingernails. the yellow blush is "Amine blush". I should have cleaned the cured epoxly with a sponge and water before applying the pant. NOw I have to make and finish the bulkheads all over again......

preparing to remove the two speed winch, drum is removed. I will take this oportunity to service them.
working on the pulpit area.
I later decided to go with full sized bulkheads (so far) and this is when i sealed them with three coats of epoxy. Subseqently I painted them with off-white polyurethane.
