Just to keep us all on our toes, the weather changed from cold wet January to a glorious sunny day. So we did some outside jobs today. An annoying leak had started right on top of the helmsman's lap, which appeared to be coming in under the radar dome mounted directly above. After removing the dome, I had to hacksaw through the bolts holding the mounting plate (I couldn't get to the heads without ripping down the boards from the wheelhouse roof) Dad put some roofing felt over the square hole. The previous owner had covered the roof with shed type roofing felt , but didn't lift the radar dome so left a big square gap.
I carried on working on the second window in the aft cabin, removing the cracked glass, then cleaning and painting the steelwork with cold galvanizing paint, before fitting a new perspex window. It looks quite different to the picture from last weekend!
In this pic you can see the rusty studs which were holding up the insulation. They make the perfect place for a drip! The next job is to remove them so the metal can be painted
