Commencing the renovation The Blue Angel was placed into this garage, fitting in only by removing part of a back wall to make room for the bow.

The old weather gel coat is visible, along with the patchy bottom paint.The teak looks good though! Blue Angel 2007-03-05T16:49:06
A view of the hull A bit blurry, but this is a better view of the hull before renovation started. Blue Angel 2007-03-05T16:49:24	A view from the loft A good view of the whole work space. Access to the bow from the loft made it very easy to move cabin contents into the loft prior to removing deck hardware.

A view of the emergency tiller and a closeup of the cabin top A socket is welded to the bottom of the tiller to fit the top of the rudder post. We can also see the thin deck paint on the cabin hatch. I had recaulked the teak handhold, but they needed removal again.

Just about everything except the teak toe rails, the main sheet track, and the wheel. Blue Angel 2007-03-07T19:08:54	Fitting removal continues Peanut butter and Nestles Quick containers are handy for saving loose hardware. Red and green dry markers show holes to leave, and holes to fill, respectively. Blue Angel 2007-03-07T19:09:02
