No I didn't build her. I was tooyoung at the time she was built :-)
Why is the interior ugly? It is the same as when she was designed in
1943.

Sorry Harry, Maybe if you put some hooks on that pegg board bulkhead
and overhead it might look OK.

The pegg board was not invented until the late 50's, someone used a
poor product to re-do the original IMO.
Functionable that it allows the steel to breathe but better methods and
materials including the original batten boards would look much better.


Nice hull..She looks roomy and comfy and well kept, sept that rust
under the wood trim around your cockpit.

Are you in Canada? I saw the flag with a tree leaf on it :0)

Hi Joe,

The pegboard is there to let the hull breathe, as you say. There is no
rust inside. The boat was designed in 1943 and built in 1964. I don't
understand "someone used a poor product to re-do the original IMO"
since no changes were made since it was built.

My wife would like the interior to have batten boards. Unfortunately
she has seen how that looks and she likes it. I am not very good at
joinery work so that's out.

In places, like the galley, we use pegboard hooks. Quite handy
actually. I've never found pegboard hooks that will work on the
overhead. I know you were being sarcastic :-)

I understand that the 1930-style interior is not everyone's cup of tea,
but it suits me. Because my portlights are small, and I only have one
main hatch, having the interior all white makes the interior bright.

BTW that's not rust - that's dirt :-)

Yes Canada. The boat is in Newcastle, north shore of Lake Ontario.

Regards,

Harry
