What this video covers

Andy is gutting a 1970 Paceship Yachts Westwind 24 for a complete interior refit, replacing traditional marine plywood with Coosa panels.▶ 2:51 He selected Coosa, a fiberglass-reinforced foam, for its resistance to warping, twisting, and moisture absorption.▶ 4:15 While he acknowledges that veneered plywood offers a superior finish for high-varnish applications, he prefers the structural stability of Coosa for his planned interior.▶ 4:45 The design aesthetic draws inspiration from Herreshoff-style interiors, featuring clean white-painted surfaces accented with sapele trim.▶ 5:13 He plans to use a satin or semi-gloss finish for the bulkheads and settees to avoid the glare of high-gloss coatings.▶ 7:49 The project involves extensive fiberglassing and woodworking, with a goal to have the vessel ready for the water by July 2026.▶ 8:29
