Repair to Lazarette/Saloon Bulkhead

There was some delamination of the tabbing between the bottom of the bulkhead and the hull.  Removing the tabbing revealed some wet plywood behind it.


All but the most forward wet ply we're removed.  The single remaining ply was used as a form for the 1/2" of epoxy wetted 1708 fiberglass that was installed.


The repaired area was filled and faired.


Three coats of Rust-Oleum gloss white enamel finished the job.

Teak Deck Maintenance


All the teak pads on both the bow and dinghy deck got some TLC.  The perimeter of the pads was re-caulked with Teakdecking Systems SIS 440.


A sharp chisel makes fast work of seam topping.   New caulk was added as necessary to any seams with voids.
