Aft Bulkhead

20 August 2010
Installed the aft bulkhead today. I cut it to a rough shape so I can trim it later when I do the sides/cabin top. I had to make all new slats for the inside and my stain came out a little dark but I think it will be OK when I get the varnish on. I also had to replace the corner posts on the inside of the cabin due to rot. It was so bad back there that a light hammer blow went all the way through the cabin sides which are 1" ply! I'm sure glad the hull is glass because if the hull were in the same shape as the topsides she would be at the bottom right now. Every time I take something off I find more problems underneath. The boat looked to be in much better shape than she is. There have been lots of repairs through the years and in some cases I have found repairs to repaired areas. Although it is hard now, when we launch it will be nice to know that everything is fixed right. I'll try to get some more pictures up soon but there really isn't that much new to see yet.

About:
I (Steve) am the builder on this project. After a stint in the Navy as an Electronics Technician and some time as a computer instructor I wound up going to Seattle Central Community College for boatbuilding and cabinetmaking courses. [...]
Extra: The name for the boat comes from the first letters of all our names which also happens to be in chronological order. We are all looking forward to getting the boat back in the water.
