Notes about the boat:
– Insulated with polyurethane, deck with foam, hull with sheets
– Original (epoxy) paintwork succesfull, local rust spots found only on edges of holes
– Topcoat with Interlac 665
– One welded patch on port side, just below waterline. History unclear, probably tumbled down on land as no signs of water ingress. Not beautiful but solid work and we decided to do nothing to it.
– One dent at stern on starboard side
– We have used the boat only in the North Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland
