Preparing to mould more fibreglass around the deck. Hopefully I am able to get a suitable temperature under the tent I built. #restoration #sailing

Do you need special equipment to work with loose fiberglass?

Your restoration journey is fascinating! How did you come across a fixer-upper boat?

Respiratory protection is a must when moulding the fibreglass. Solvents are scary!

Other than safety gear it’s just simple tools: felt tip pen, sturdy scissors, beakers for mixing, aluminium roller and brushes.

To be honest, I had no intention to buy a fixer upper of this extent. The welding and rotten deck I discovered after I purchased the boat. It was a cheap boat, but not that cheap πŸ˜†

Well, thanks for sharing the process on here; it’s really interesting. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more when you’re able to sail it as well 😊

Thanks! Will keep you updated! Looking forward to post from the water as well ⛡️
