The Interior
In these photos, you can see
some of the areas I talked about on the last page, including
the black water-damaged spot, the long crooked patch beneath
the deck crack, and the top side of the deck crack itself.
The backing plates for much
of the hardware are minimal or nonexistent, and I'd suggest
comprehensively renewing all of this anyway.
The aluminum mast step is
corroded and should be replaced. The wooden
understructure seemed to be generally sound, though.
The port chainplate area
has been reinforced with additional fiberglass, and features
a wooden backing plate with flimsy metal overlay (not sure
why). The starboard chainplate has not been
reinforced, and has an aluminum backing plate. I'd
suggest new reinforcement of both chainplates, along with
stronger and larger backing plates, mainly because it'd be
easy to do.
The flimsy liner that's
bonded to the inside of the hull in the cockpit areas was
torn and damaged on the starboard side, generally beneath
the chainplate. The liner is nothing special, and it'd
be nice to remove it wherever feasible anyway.
The bilge contained some
water, but to the extent visible the structure appeared
sound. The forward compartment, forward of the
bulkhead, contained some water as seen in the photo.
Otherwise, both the forward and aft compartments were
unremarkable, with no particular issues to note.
Again, if you're wondering
what you're looking at in a specific photo, please let me
know and I will explain what I was hoping to capture with
the photo.
