I'm fairly sure that caulking should be done on the hull, with a material that don't harden fully and keeps some flexibility. It was why they used to soak the cotton in tar back in the olden times and used a putty of melted pine pitch. Sticky as all hell and it won't fully harden so it flexes with the board of the hull. I always liked the ingenuity of that solutions and always wondered how they figured it out. I'm fairly sure there's a modern better material out there with those same properties, but I can't be sure.

Funnily enough they used a melted blend of the same thing almost just like we now use epoxy to keep water off the hull. Clever right :D But what would the perfect modern material be? It would dry hard, but not fully stiff and retain flexibility, hm?

Another thought! The wardrobe has a space for shelves……so it would be a great hidyhole area for hiding a female from pirates should they ever board your vessel. Secret hiding area so to say.

How does the plastic hold up with condensation? Does it absorb the moisture or does the moisture run past it down the wall to the bilge area? Since it's plastic, does water just run off it or does it absorb it? I like the P.E.T. idea of recycled material and fire resistance.

Hey Ben and MP!

That caulking compound looks like a biscuit dough I make!
So much happening in this episode!!! You both are certainly making fantastic headway!
Great drumming too Ben!!! I'm surprised MP slept through it!!!!
Wonderful to see the enthusiasm still well and truly alive. Till the next exciting episode.

Those bed brackets are a single point of failure. Under sea, sectioned off covers to smaller vented lockers will be more managable.

I rebuilt an RV and replaced the bedbase and created smaller lockers due to brackets like yours failing and destroying the frame.

Hi Ben and MP. You keep avoiding my question! I grew up on the ocean in New England and have had several wooden boats. Back in the 60's and 70's a lot of boat owners got the bright idea to fiberglass wooden boats only to find out that in a couple of years the wood dry rotted and had to be replaced. You are using a lot of fiberglass and epoxy on the Yaba. Are you worried about having a problem with dry rot because the wood cannot breath?

Thick woolen tapestries on the walls also work really well to deaden sound. Consider hanging some tapestries if things are still noisy once you've finished all the rest.

When you're finished, I hope you hang Ben's jorts off of the mast and turn them into a pirate flag. Lol. Doggy is so cute.
