We continued scraping and sanding the interior.

Don removed the risers, thwarts, and sternsheets from Cinnamon Girl to make interior scraping and sanding easier, and for restoration or replacement of these components.

We moved Cinnamon Girl onto the SBS porch, out for the weather for our work of scraping, painting, and replacing some of the knees. Willem and Tom removed the centerboard.

Jenn and Don got to work with heat gun and scrapers to remove loose paint and rot from the interior of Cinnamon Girl.

Mike and Jenn sanded Cinnamon Girl’s spars while Tom cut and assembled parts for the new storage cabinet.
