- Removed fiddles from shelves port and star.
- Removed portside peg board that covers the hull above the v-berth
- The five vertical teak supports to which the peg board was connected by Robertson screws are loose. Appear to have been secured to the hull using hot glue? The material has failed at the interface between the material and the teak. May be due to the oils in the teak.
- Removed two light fixtures from the fore side of the v-berth bulkhead. A four hook hanging rack remains to be removed.
- Removed multiple wire retaining clamps for the light fixtures, anchor light wire, VHF cable, masthead instruments.
- Anchor light and cabin-side nav lights are on single electrical circuit.
- Very damp in the v-berth. Water droplets on the steel supporting the mastbeam. Bought Starbrite
12oz No Damp
at Bacon's to place in the v-berth. About $7.00.
The pegboard was screwed to shaped teak strips oriented vertically. Nearly all the teak strips were loose. Now they are all loose and have been labeled. The teak strips were attached to the hull with three very generous globs of fiberglass resin(?) each. The globs are so thick that there was a clear gap between the teak strips and the hull. Need to reattach these strips and paint the sides of the hull and the overhead before attaching a ceiling to the strips.
Need to scrub this entire section of the boat while a fan is running to draw in fresh air and make us sweet.
Need to replace the plywood used to build the flat surface on the portside of the v-berth. Perhaps Boulter Plywood
.
The wire visible in the photos provides power to the bow pulpit mounted navigation lights. Needs to be re-run so that it is not sitting on the shelf, waiting to be damaged by whatever items are placed on the shelf.
The white hose visible under the portside v-berth is the vent line for the holding tank located under the aft section of the portside v-berth.
The icepick works very well to remove paint from the recess of the Robertson screws that secured the peg board.
