improving and maintaining swordfish (albin 33)

[swordfish]

after letting the concrete dry, i painted the bottom with rubber seal. Unfortunately they only had it in black

up to the next problem:

at the rear of the salon there began to form a mold spot on the ceiling at the place where it is often wet in a rainstorm. Of course it was another leakey problem. as far as i can see it appeared to come from the lighting cable from the mast. After resealing the cable entry and the mastfoot it seemed it stopped to rain at the inside.
I cut out the wet piece of ceiling and made a new insert. When i was done i left the hole in the ceiling open to dry an bit more.

Thank you for your posts, they are very helpful. I am new to owning a boat and own the same model. I'm looking at a long list of maintenance but it will be good to learn my boat thoroughly. Have you replaced any of the headliners in either cabin? I am going to need to do so and would like to find some information on the process and materials.

Keep up the good work!

i have not replaced a headliner. but in my opinion you can open it up and see that it must be easy

good luck
