"Sounds good.👍
You should probably open a new thread to show other members your setup. If possible with pictures. I think there will be some more interested in it."

Looking for help renovating a Pahi 42 (Azores, Portugal)
I realized over this summer that the project boat that I purchased at the end of 2024 will take me a few more years to complete at my current speed and time availability, which is not really what I naively expected when buying it.The Pahi 42 is not generally in bad shape and is in the water at the marina in Ponta Delgada, but there are a lot of small time consuming works necessary and there are very few professional services here to help out (aside from the fact that I don't really have the…See More
"The Pahi 63 is way to big for two people anyway. Get some additional people on board with building it, or aim for something (much) smaller.
My Pahi42 took the original owner about 20 years to complete, and that is an example that actually did get…"

Fixing water damage at beam case in place?
Ok, so I got this tricky problem with my Pahi42:Apparently something caused a leak between the second beam and the casing, resulting in rotten plywood in the side of the beam casing.Obviously the best would be to pull up the beam and fix it properly, but that beam supports the pod and the cockpit and lifting those, including the engines suspended below the cockpit is not feasible in the next couple of months as I lack a suitable crane for it.So I am wondering if I can do a "good enough" repair…See More
