We bought Gypsy in the fall of 2003. She is a great sailboat, but she is now 41 years old and she needs an overhaul. We want to make some changes to the cockpit and cabin. We will also address structural as well as cosmetic repairs that are needed. We want to sail her for a long time yet and these repairs and improvements will make that possible.
You can see that the gelcoat is worn away. Gypsy will look great once she is painted.
We have been busy getting as much prep done as we could before she goes to the boat yard. Most of the deck hardware is off and the cabin is stripped. We also have done some demolition in the cabin where we will be making changes to the layout. When she was built, four colors of carpet were glued to the hull to cover up the fiberglass. That has been removed and we are going find a better solution.
Here are before and after pictures of the cabin.
Ready to go to the boatyard. The silver tape is covering all the holes.
