After much delay, I have moved Hydra onto a trailer and to my yard at home. I've decided to go all in and completely restore the boat, from a bare hull. While not my original plan, it quickly became apparent, the deeper I got into the boat, that there was so many problems that it would be easier just to gut the thing and start fresh. I'm probably crazy. Here's the interior completely gutted and stripped.
New mast compression post temporarily installed (VG doug fir). Tick-board tacked to post for new main bulkhead,
