Building Grace: Some Interior Surgery, Light up the Wood Grain Again

It has been some seven years of sailing, and it was time to get a eurathane refresh on the boat interior.

There are the normal wear areas and dock rash on the rails to attend to.

But there are two things I would do differently were I to build the boat again: the limber holes
are too small to easily maintain, and the keelson edges should have been rounded and glassed to
provide peace of mind about the bilge where water routinely accumulates.

So in this video I addressed those two things, while navigating the ever-changing winter temps
in my shop to ensure successful epoxy cures.

It was a chance to enjoy the shining wood grain of the interior again...thanks for watching!
