Looking aft of the fridge. The aluminum plate they will use to replace part of the backing plate for the toe rail is hanging up. They have peeled off more of the brown interior gelcoat, exposing the foam cove stripe stringer.
A wider view, showing the fridge and pilot berth (at least where they used to be). The tenting is extensive. Only a small area of the boat is available, to contain the fiberglass.
Looking forward along the port settee (the pilot berth and fridge are on the left). Again, you can see how the rest of the interior is sealed off behind the plastic. My warm clothes are behind there!
A closer look at the refrigerator bulkhead, looking forward. You can see how the bulkhead was cut (just to right of center of the picture). The aluminum for the new toe rail backing plate is hanging up near the top of the picture.
A closer view of the foam stringer behind the refrigerator. You can see some of the cracking in the fiberglass. Again, the new plate for the toe rail backing plate to be cut out is hanging down from the top of the picture.
An even closer view of the foam stringer behind the refrigerator. You can just see part of the bulkhead cut away on the right edge of the picture. Underneath the stringer you can see some white cracks - that is the hull damage.
Yet another view (sorry, we had lots of film) of the refrigerator looking forward at the bulkhead. The cut in the bulkhead can be clearly seen. This shot is looking 'up' - The light brown area is where the pieces of the new teak deck were!
A view from the pilot berth, looking aft at the bulkhead partially cut away. Underneath the foam stringer is more white cracking indicating where the fiberglass of the hull has split.
A wider shot of the pilot berth, looking aft at the cut-away bulkhead. The refrigeration pumps and compressors are at the bottom of the picture, under the plastic.
The aft part of the toe rail, removed and on the ground. The end of the bulb of the keel is on the right edge of the picture.
Javier, on the staging, checking the fairing of the hull.
Javier fairing the hull. Notice he is wearing a full respirator (the dust particles are nasty! This was a particularly warm weekend, so Javier was HOT.
A view of the area being faired (note the respirator hood on the staging).
Looking forward at the faired area.
A view of the top of the deck (looking forward) of the repair area. The blue tape marks where the teak deck is. The wide area from the edge to the blue tape is where they chiseled off all that nice, new teak! The object in the center is the 'long board' used for hand sanding, to get a nice, fair shape.
