Refurbishing a Cape Dory 27 involves extensive hull, deck, and interior restoration. To address gel coat crazing, cracks are notched with an angle grinder and filled with thickened epoxy and silica powder.2:11 For minor surface dings, 3M filler or polyester body filler provides a faster cure than epoxy.4:02 The cockpit locker lids require new framing and rubber gaskets to prevent water ingress, while a spongy, rotted locker lid is repaired by replacing the water-damaged balsa core with Divini Cell foam.4:48 Interior surfaces receive a coat of pre-coat primer followed by two coats of tinted Easy Cabin Coat.7:38 Topside preparation includes spraying Interlux Epoxy Prime Coat, using a Mirka black powder guide coat to ensure a flat surface before final painting.8:42 Bottom paint application utilizes a hard, copper-based Trinidad base coat followed by three coats of ablative paint to extend haul-out intervals.11:46 Deck upgrades include installing 7-foot jib sheet tracks and 8.5-inch folding midship cleats to prevent jib sheet snagging.13:51
