    Bisquit

    Phil.
    Lucky Bisquit to have found you.... that's quality carpentry you do there!

    Wondering if you are thinking to change her name.
    (personally I think it's a perfect name for a little ship!)

    Had to take a quick look and discovered this:
    There was a famous undersized race horse named Seabiscuit.
    Sired by a stallion named HardTack.
    HardTack was sired by Man O'War and a mare called Tea Bisquit.

    Tea bisquits are served with tea, wherever English tea is served, what we call cookies.

    Of course bisquits are a different form of flakey consumable in the States,
    often served up hot with gravy or butter and hominy grits....

    It's going to take a lot of gravy and grit to get C025 looking fine again....

    Here's looking at her!!!

    I am going to take my time on the name. Tea Bisquit is nice though. It will be in the running. I finished removing all the hardware and trim and pressure washed the interior. She is ready to go in the shed and start with the deck re-core. I'll post some pictures of the progress when she is moved and staged. Tomorrow I hope. Here is a before and after on the engine well access panel. I'm using 1/2" smoked lexan for the door and I will replace the dead lights with the same.
