Comment: Looking up from under the bow.
radicalconstruction25 * The windows all were removed. We recaulked and put the stainless frames back on. The sail tracks were re-installed, and so is the toe rail. This all was a lot of work. This photo is taken later on, when we have the deck fills on. * 600 x 904 * (151KB)

radicalconstruction26 * The toe rail has 240 bolts - all holes were drilled oversized, filled with epoxy and redrilled. This prevents water from getting to the balsa core deck. The toe rail is aluminum extrusion, anodized. * 1758 x 1133 * (2.03MB)

radicalconstruction27 * This is the deck fills on the other side of the boat. There are 3 water and 2 fuel. * 1723 x 1183 * (2.03MB)

radicalconstruction29 * A view of the deck, looking aft. The traveler was removed, painted and put back on with backing plates. * 864 x 560 * (138KB)

radicalconstruction30 * A Lewmar electric windlass was installed. The bow fitting came with the boat, but we added nylon rollers. The chain is new because the boat came only with rope rode. * 1725 x 1152 * (2.11MB)

radicalconstruction32 * This is looking straight down into the chain locker. It has been allcleaned up and painted. It is accessible from the deck and sealed off from the main cabin of the boat. Here we installed supports for 2 propane tanks and put in lines aft to the galley. * 1796 x 1156 * (1.93MB)

radicalconstruction33 * The chain in the locker. * 1785 x 1199 * (2.0MB)

radicalconstruction34 * Oct '98. This is the deck of the pilothouse. We decided to install an opening hatch - below here is the galley and nav area, so we needed more ventilation. First, we had to make a level platform for the hatch. * 888 x 596 * (173KB)

radicalconstruction35 * Ed mixes West epoxy to a paste like peanut butter. Then, using sticks of plywood for a guide, he fills in the gaps. * 768 x 506 * (153KB)

radicalconstruction36 * Next he places a piece of plywood (cut out before the epoxy was started!) down onto the epoxy and squishes it down flat and level. The strip of wood on top of the plywood is simply a temporary handle. * 768 x 556 * (150KB)
