When we bought the boat the purchase survey highlighted some areas where the plywood in the cockpit needed attention. Most of the problems were around the cockpit sole which was duly removed and thrown away, A couple of new beams were made and some local spots of soft ply were cut out with new ply being epoxied and glassed in. The well was cleaned up and the exhaust hose led in a loop under the aft deck

When the sole and well had been sorted out, the benches and hatches were lifted for a bit of tidying and resealing to the framework and base layer.
