Hull insulation

Feb 10th, 2011 by admin

No rest –  the scale of the project is beginning to show, and I wish there was 48 hours in each day. Wish Nick was here to help me out.

Right after the boat fair I begun the job of insulating the V berth, it turned out to be just as easy as I thought it would be, the whole thing took about 6 hours. My original plan to glue the foam with water based contact adhesive turned out to be unnecessary. Since the foam is a few millimeters to thick the battens pressed the foam against the hull. Even if I would manage to get a perfect joint there would still be condensation between the hull and foam. My plan is to insulate the white bulkhead towards the anchor-locker from the outside so I won’t have to destroy to much of the interior. I could cut a foam board to fit or if I feel lazy I will  just spray it with construction foam.
