My "working on my boat" effort has taken me from the bowsprit and chain locker to the V-berth. Behind the nice teak slats is cracked, moldy paint. Once the inside of the hull has been chipped, stripped, washed, and painted, it looks not-too-bad. Before I replace the freshly polyurethane teak slats, I will cover the hull with some form of insulation. While here in the Chesapeake Bay for the winter, the insulation will help me stay warm and keep the inside of the hull from sweating with condensation. And when I'm back in the tropics that same insulation will prevent her pretty dark green hull from heating up the cabin.



This is the teak slatting (I think it's called the ceiling, actually) along the inside of the hull along the V-berth in the bow.



And this is what the inside of the hull looks like with the teak removed.



And this is that it looks like after the hull has been re-painted (picture of the other side of the V-berth).
