What this video covers

Side deck re-coring on a Sea SPRITE 30 is complete port and starboard, but the project has paused mid-refit due to a contractor ownership transition.0:26 Work stopped at the slick-sanding stage, just before non-skid paint application.0:40 The coach roof still has elevated moisture readings, concentrated around the handrails, and requires additional re-coring.0:53 A second area of concern sits at the transom near the lazarette, where two cleats produced high moisture meter readings; Lizzie plans to pull a core sample there to determine whether that section also needs re-coring.1:32 The original gelcoat on the coach roof is worn through and will need paint regardless.1:05 The new contractor owners are expected to continue the work once the business transition completes.0:21 No timeline for resumption is given.
