Been busy the last few days. The PO had installed bulkheads separating the forward V birth from the galley area and took out the table and installed a refrigerator (that no longer works). I’ve ripped all that out an I’m looking to put it back to originalish.

Midship 25 hull number 101 restoration in progress
My dad gave me this boat 6 years ago while I was going through cancer treatments.My dream is to learn to sail with this boat and when I retire I want to circumnavigate the globe using an Alberg 30. First things first getting this girl sea worthy!

I’ve also been attempting to salvage the companion way woodwork. And I’ve changed to oil and filter on the Yanmar 1GM10. Ohmgod the scuppers! You don’t even wanna know what was done to them!
On another note I’m thinking this was setup as a ketch at one time as there was t diamond shaped hole in the engine cover that had something mounted to it.. I filled it with fiberglass so I can do some soundproofing after I clean out the engine compartment.

A smile, a breeze, some sailing... looking good!
BTW, it sure resembles a Dawson 26.

Looking good, they are a lot more fun out on the water for sure.
They are even more fun to work on when floating too, at least it is easy to jump in and cool off during the summer.
