Preparing the Hull-To -Deck Joint E8

Project Seahorse: Restoring a 1974 O'day Mariner 19 Sailboat, Episode 8

The Hull-To-Deck project is in full bloom. In this video, I go over techniques that I used to prepare for laying up fiberglass to reinforce and rebuild the hull-to-deck joint and flange. I spent a significant amount of time just prepping and this video will reveal why. There's definitely some palpable frustration here and there. And as always, discovering new damage! Stay tuned for a follow-up episode of laying up fiberglass and epoxy resin...


The Mariner 19 has a large following of many owners, an active forum with repair and restoration information, and plenty of parts still available. These boats are still manufactured today by Stuart Marine. You can visit www.usmariner.org to check out the Mariner Class Association and learn more about Mariners!
