Re: VIDEO UPDATE. 005 the Lady itself.
+1 Focus on the inside structurals give it some rigidity so when the days shorten you dont grind to a halt.
1-I still think you are bonkers
2-I still think it's not worth it financially or in terms of time, both of which I still think you have catastrophically under-estimated. If people could fit out a hull for 20 grand and a few months work we'd all be doing it.
3-HOWEVER-fair play to have got her moved...she does look good (on the outside!) I have to say!
4-Glad she didn't fold up when craned and the survey was OK. Don't go crazy on the osmosis/moisture...show me an old boat that hasn't had the pox at some point
5-If I were you I would not be fannying around with the outside of the hull now. You have precisely zero chance of finishing the boat this summer or next. So use the good weather to get the bulkheads cut and in. Get the internals sorted so when the nights draw in you can sit inside and plumb in engines/water/electrics to your heart's content. And I would not be planing so much as a micron off that hull laminate until I had some bulkheads in.
Crack on!
