Interior Demolition Continued

More work on the removal of the interior woodwork this weekend.  Nearly all the plywood has suffered dryrot and came out with minimal effort.  Noticed a number of places where the teak wood also suffered dryrot - I guess after 50 years or so, it could be expected if the boat was left out in the elements.  There are some structural members (much thicker plywood) that I think I can salvage and possibly laminate with new plywood down the road.


The chain plate attachments are totally dry-rotted out and will be replaced with something much more substantial on the rebuild.  The hull is in great shape however, once the interior paint is removed, we will have a good place to start again.
