Does anyone remember how this all started? I found a little bit of rot at the base of the main bulkhead. Okay, in reality I could peel the plys apart with a phillips screwdriver and not much effort. So just like 10 years ago, one single event precipitates a whole sequence of events, or, changes in this case.
I can relate to that! I bought the 'Mephisto Cat' not only because I thought it was a beautiful little yacht, but also because I could go sailing on DAY 1 - and DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO IT!

Then I found a little soft spot on the lazarette floor and that got the snowball rolling!

- That's what happens...

Can't leave things well enough alone!

Your re-fit looks amazing... And soon you'll be sailing and all the hurdles encountered will be forgotten history...
