Pearson Commander #26 projects
I will start by saying that I really didn't need another project boat. I need to get more experience sailing. So .. I bought this great Pearson Commander in an excellent location for sailing. I mention this because any work that I do to the boat, or do not do, is focused on getting some sailing in this season.

- There are some issues needing attention like the hand rails and associated leaks in the cabin roof.

It was recommended that I remove the thru hulls and the head. Casco Bay is a no discharge area and it will be one less thing to maintain so I did.

I removed the handrails because they were cracked and broken and the fasteners were loose or snapped. some water appears to have leaked into the core in a couple of places.
I drilled the holes out and cleaned out as much wet core as I could and then filled with thickened epoxy.
