This was a long, drawn out job. The teak and vinyl had to be scraped off inch by inch and all the imperfections had to be filled. This took several days.
When I removed the coachliner I discovered that it had concealed most of the electrical wiring.
The next stage was re-routing and rewiring the entire boat. The advantage of this is that I now have a full understanding of her electrics.
The worst job, by far, was sanding the interior.
This took days, during which I lived in a cloud of fibreglass dust. Extremely itchy.
Once this was done, I faired the ceiling and sides and then spent the next few days sanding, priming and filling.
Finally, after three months of preparation, I applied the first coat of white Velvaglo. What a difference!
My dark, dismal boat changed into a light, bright airy space.
The look was further enhanced by having the cushions recovered in beige material.
