Mads continues the DIY restoration of his Warrior 38, Athena, focusing on galley construction, hull moisture monitoring, and interior finishing. He fabricates a galley countertop support using 4mm plywood and thickened epoxy, aiming for a precise fit before final installation. To track osmosis treatment progress, he records hull moisture levels, noting that ambient temperature significantly skews readings; he also experiments with washing the aft hull to test for hydrophilic compounds.6:36 Varnish application on interior trim requires a structured approach, including 320-grit wet sanding between coats and proper brush maintenance using mineral spirits and paraffin.9:50 Additionally, he plans to replace flickering LED light fixtures with a new model that allows for bulb replacement, despite requiring a 5mm modification to the headliner.5:08 He seeks user feedback on Sapphire forced-air heaters for high-latitude cruising.12:23 Consistent moisture monitoring and structured sanding are essential for successful hull restoration and high-quality varnish finishes.
