Cabin side #1 back on...
I have not been working on the boat much lately. Time to get back on it!
WOW! That looks awesome!

Very nice Formosa 51 / Hudson Force 50...
Front boards are cut and test fit. I had to reinstall the dinghy davits to calculate the holes I needed to drill through the back piece. I then cut the two ugliest holes I have ever done...they weren't photo worthy. Next up, pull it all apart, fiberglass the propane locker box, reinstall everything, fiberglass everything else.
One more part complete. It was in pretty bad shape. It got enough water in the motor that it rusted enough to dislodge one of the magnets. Innards were rebuilt at the “factory”. When I looked up the info on the maker of the windlass, I was surprised to find they were 30 minutes away from me. When I took it in I got a tour of the machine shop as well…pretty cool, and way cheaper than buying a newer inferior model.... $500
Almost finished with the recore job. Maybe 2 square feet at the very peek of the bow, and a bit more in the cockpit, and I get to check that off the lest. I rolled the tarp back for the first time in a long time. It was nice to see my progress in the daylight! We had to quit and go play at the river for a while as it got to hot to do epoxy. We returned after the sun went down for a bit to epoxy on the fiberglass on the bow.
