As qualified professionals, the time you’ve dedicated to this renovation has a lot more value than the cost of just buying a new boat. But on the other hand, it’s great to see people who put a value on fixing things they own rather than just adopt the modern habit of dispose and replace.

Renovating and transforming your home to better withstand the weather elements. Building on years of lessons learned. The skeletal and spine sections are beefier and now properly joined to the hull. The ribs, stringers, sole, bulkhead(s) and extra layers of fibreglass have made Üma more watertight and robust yet flexible. So a vastly improved foundation to build from. Less squeaking, cracking, flexing, deflection. More quiet, easier to insulate. Huge opportunity to incorporate an interior space utilization to your personal priority needs, budget and timeline. Phase 1 (research, redesign, deconstruct, reinforce) completed. Phase 2 [designing, mapping out the interior, rebuilding each new area, one bulkhead at a time]

Now seeing the boats rehabilitation and enhancements, I'm convinced of your stewardship and maybe the future holds the possibility for Uma to exist in this condition, and other things.

Two things: seal the edges of the plywood before placement to delay a rotting process, limber holes between all the structural panels to allow water to sink to the lowest point in the bilge. (It’s not too late). Accumulated water in those areas will drive you nuts. If that other P 36 “Skylark” was from New York, I sailed against her for many years when new. Pretty good boat, but we were faster of course (kidding)! I knew the original owner well. Grumman man. You all are amazing. I’m jealous! I hope you’re finding Sardinia to as beautiful as I imagine.

I’ve mentioned it before, but think about moving the motor pod significantly aft, closer to the rudder. It’ll give you more space where it’s useful, but more importantly, it’ll make the boat far easier to manoeuvre at piers etc. The prop wash hits the rudder quicker and harder. Huge difference. I’m a professional skipper on the Amsterdam canals, have 50 years of sailing experience, including professional racing, and have designed and built sailboats. The proposed change is definitely a big improvement. Nice to see the boat getting progress, by the way. With most people, this project would be a complete no go. Far better to buy another boat. With you two, however, there’s no doubt that you’ll get the results you want without burning out. Experience and skill plus the right attitude. It’ll be fun to “participate” and see the results of competent creativity.

How so!? A refit costs 5-10X less than a new boat if you do the work yourself. And it’s about half the price of a new boat if you hire someone to do it for you. Takes less time too. New boats take about 2 yrs to build. You can hire a crew that could do all this in just a few months. And you’d be left with something WAY better than most modern “production” boats.

As you go through this rebuild, I keep thinking about the choice of rebuilding vs buying something else (old or new) and how you are choosing to "create" content over taking the easy/disposable route. Maybe you don't get to the same place in the end. Maybe you get something equivalent, for a lot more effort. And maybe you get something better (for you) than could be available, at any price. Either way, your choice to go the hard way toward preservation and creating content (or whatever other reasons) is not lost on me. Thank you and kudos to charting your own course 😀✌️
