2) painting that includes the non slip decks , that will commence after I return to Phuket in the 2nd half of February and am happy with 1)
Repairs
1) replace damaged aft deck core with foam and fibre glass epoxy bog and sand to undercoat stage close 2 holes from deep fridge pipes
2 )Port & Starboard raise the space under the first step onside decks 1 cm put a new drainage hole with fibre gals tube as far away from the hatches as possible fill existing drainage holes increase lower water proof barrier by 1 cm and decrease the lower section of the lifting step such the stairs press evenly onto the fixed frame
3) Port & Starboard construct new deck hatches from foam fibre glass mat and epoxy use hinges from the deepfreeze I will check to see if I can get anther 2 closing latches make sure the new hatches are 100% alighted
