Winter Cleaning

Now that I have the ballast removed, the next move is to remove the rest of the rotten wood from the hull.

This winter has been a rough one and working outside has been slow going for me. The high temp of the day was going to be 9 degrees F. I wanted to take advantage of my school winter break, but mother nature was not going to go easy on me.

The first project that I wanted to tackle was removing the rest of the wood and dewaxing the inside of the hull.

I chipped, vacuumed, cut, chiseled, vacuumed, sanded, pounded, and vacuumed more.

When I was finished I wiped the hull down with Interlux 202. Of course it was a struggle to clean the desovled wax before the solution froze.

I'm sure I should wipe the hull down again. It was just too cold to be attempting that job. But I just wasn't going to be happy unless I tried.
