What this video covers

The Sea SPRITE 30 remains on the hard outside Phipps Boatworks at Harrington Harbor North in Deal, Maryland, waiting for a large bay to open so the boat can move indoors for professional work.0:04 Deck sanding is underway — non-skid surfaces are done except the cockpit, which stays blocked by gear and shrink wrap until the boat enters the building.0:51 Below decks, a new fuel tank is on hand and scheduled for installation within days.1:23 The old tank's fibreglass supports were cut out during removal, leaving holes in the liner that must be glassed over before the new tank goes in; two new supports will be glassed in to level it, and a G10 bar across the tank's front will anchor the tie-down straps.1:51 Engine installation follows the tank.2:27 Progress has been slow due to a busy brokerage season and the wait for shop space.0:33 The owner expects the move into Phipps Boatworks to accelerate everything, as professional labour and his own daily presence on the boat will both begin at that point.2:44
