Project Log: Sunday, November 23, 2014
I was pleased with the cabin sole's last (as I'd hoped
during application, but didn't jinx it by saying so)coat
of varnish, and was looking forward to putting the boat
back together again. So after installing the new
lifting hardware on the engine hatches, I reassembled
the pilothouse and installed the hatches in the main
cabin. Still ahead in the immediate future, I'd
install the new base trim to wrap up the cabin sole
completely, but this was basically done. Note that
that yawning gap at the aft end of the pilothouse
remains one of the last major trim details for me to
complete on board, so that's not the finished look.

After struggling with handle-less, awkward, and
increasingly heavy (with the sound insulation) hatches
every time I needed access to the engine room for the
past several years, I looked forward to being able to
more easily lift the hatches, finally, thanks to the new
hardware, and the new finished sole brought the whole
interior together. I was pleased with the look and
color of the Khaya grain under the soft glow of my
favorite interior varnish: subtly different than
the cherry, but complementary.
Meanwhile, I made up a list of some of the trim lengths
and sizes I'd need for the overhead and hatch trim in
the cabin, and around the deadlights in the hull
forward--about the last bits of trim required in this
boat, along with that pilothouse piece. I'd order
some more cherry soon so I could get the final trim
underway. |
