Das sind Teakleisten, die aufgeklebt, dann mit Schwarzer Masse ausgegossen und geschliffen wurden. Sieht immer noch aus wie neu.....

Tools of the trade, ratchet crimper, stripper, and marine grade connectors. Well worth the investment. Doing it right will help reduce those pesky hard to track down wiring problems. The project also gets you intimately acquainted with marine electrical systems. It helps that i took basic wiring and electricity as an elective in highschool and college. But still don casey's sailboat electrics book was very helpfull and anyone could do it. You just need three hands!

to test different techniques, i set up the rudder aligned with the low lying morning sun so i could site along each side to compare techniques. just compounding,even several times, did not work well for me. I had to start by sanding.

Beautiful november in North Georgia. You can see the reflection of my brick house with window, and a red maple tree in the hull. When i started on her,she was pretty chalky. I love the way gelcoat restores. after working with paint and gelcoat, i like gelcoat alot better.

What you use is not as important as how, but in finishing it helps. Wet sand beginning with 600 grit, in a CIRCULAR motion (hard for a woodworker to accept) with light body massage type pressure. spray your sandpaper to clean it every 15 seconds / or often with a good spray bottle in your non-sanding hand. Work up to 1500, then begin to buff, again lite massage type pressure. slow speeds.

After much experimentation with products and techniques, these are the final products used to finish. My Girl was moderately oxidized, meaning no shiney spots at all, but not as bad a a piece of chalk. To get a reflection, you MUST USE WET SANDPAPER. Trust me on this, you cannot get a gloss by just buffing, even buffing several times over and over again.

A good case for finishing your teak. It is just too pretty this way as opposed to the "ignored gray" finish alot of people use. I used cetol "natural teak" as recommended by appleman.

I fashioned the floorboards from cherry. I used a lighter stain on them and used cetol because it is not slippery as polyurethane. I initially put sand on it, but sanded it off as i didn't like it. it does not seem slippery.

refinished all teak, i used a cabbott "red mahogany" and cabbott polyurethane semigloss. I setteled on cabbott after trying a couple of other brands. I am glad i painted the bulkheads, they show off the teak.

I painted the areas i repaired with interlux brightside. the "grand banks beige" matched the non skid closely. You can see that i raised the area at the chainplate slighly to keep water from puddling around the plate.

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......

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 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.

The most controversial move yet. i will enlarge the vbirth, eliminating the forward head, and sink, and shrink the bulkheads, but reinforce with larger compression post. (advised that this compromises integrety, i later went with the original floor plan. plus my wife didn't want to give up the private head!)
