Gold Ship Rocinante - brief progress update - foam removal forward.
Channel: Gold Ship Rocinante
Date: 17/07/2023

Just a brief look at the progress toward removing the foam from under the overhead canopy on my lifeboat gold dredge, to obtain more headroom inside. The builder put 300 cu.ft. of foam in the overhead, and 400 cu.ft. low in the hull, to make her unsinkable and self righting, even when partly flooded. But for my purposes, the 1200 lbs of weight high in the boat, will make her too "tippy", and takes up too much space.. and it's partly waterlogged too - so it has to go.
