Happy Fourth of July! In this vlog we do a lot of prep work right up until we put the first couple layers of primer on our sailboat deck.
With regards to the core in the questionable large area. It really did feel very dry, and when we compared the core from the questionable area to the mush that came out of the cockpit sole, that was our comparative analysis. At the time we felt this was enough and since we didn’t have a moisture meter on hand we felt fine using our eyes and hands to determine the moisture level instead of relying on a device that may give us a number we don’t know what to do with. After reading the comments on our last video, however, we decided to order a cheap moisture meter so we can get an idea of wetter areas of the deck and keep track of them as we cruise. We haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet though.
In a perfect world we would have had an unlimited amount of time in the shed for us to be able to re-core the whole deck, however that was simply not the case. We only had to the end of the month so we had to get moving. Since the core seemed dry everywhere except the cockpit sole, we decided to close up the inspection squares and paint.
Going forward, we are planning on fixing the flex in the deck by glassing stringers on the underside from down below. This won’t be hard as we’re gutting the interior anyway. We’re going to tie in the stringers into our design for the new headliner, and they will serve multiple purposes. The stringers will be a base for the headliner to be mounted to as well as adding structural integrity to the deck. If we find any really wet areas of the deck after we check the whole deck with the moisture meter, we will look into ways of fixing it from below so we don’t mess up our new paint job on top.

Why Are There So Many Holes in Our Boat? | Learning the Lines
Removing the seemingly infinite amount of deck hardware and sealing the boat again is a major task when there's this much deck hardware on a small boat. A few years and another country later, we're back at the Desperado project and committed to at least getting her in the water in 2027. F...
DON’T DO THIS With Your Marine Paint | Learning the Lines
I have to say that while I did literally close to everything wrong, the @TotalBoat paint still performed amazingly. If it performs this well when you do everything wrong, it must be a legendary product when you actually follow the instructions! I also went ahead and opened up the boat to prep Desp...
