How to repair Plywood and Epoxy & Releasing your inner redneck

This week on SV Dreamchaser, we let our Inner Redneck out. See how we combined being a sailor and being a redneck into a great way to move a vehicle. I once heard someone tell me on a boat that "Fenders are for fending and bumpers are for bumping." I used this wisdom and my truck to move stuff around. We also prepared the new surface of the Coachhouse wall for the port replacement. For those that have been following our recent adventures, you know that we had a leak on the coachhouse after electing to take the easy way out on a repair (those rarely pay off by the way). I had the boatyard come fiberglass and ultimately make sure the job was done right, but like most work, we shared some of the responsibility. My job was to trim the fiberglass they laid for the port installation. I also had to build up the thickness on the inside of the coachouse wall where the old wood had rotted from all those previous years of a leak. I had removed the rotted wood a year ago and it was finally time to get new wood and epoxy in place and fair it all smooth to get ready for painting.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
