Seems like this boat is a can of worms. Start to fix something and it ends up being 5 more new projects. Getting me down.
I started installing the new port lights. What a job. They were installed with 3M 5200 glue and I mean Glue. Got one installed after working 2 days on it.
Now for the really bad news. I was told during our first look and checking the boat over before purchase the just because she is dirty there is nothing that would be a deal killer. That included the whole deck and standing rigging.
Well over this last weekend I found where the compression post has rotted at the bottom. This is why the upper and lower shrouds were loose. The shrouds are the part that hold the mast up. The compression post being rotten would have been a deal killer. We did not want a project. Miss Sadie being so neglected is a project.
Photos of the bottom of the compression post.
Additional photos of the mast where you can see is sinks into the deck.
B.O.A.T Bring our another thousand.
