The ply in the main cabin area was mostly pulp and came out as a crumbly soft papery type substance that could be crumpled up by hand, but up front it was a bit tougher. Below you can see we got the 2 bulkheads out in the middle, and up front you can just see where I sawed the top out of what I'll call the "chain locker". The ply ran over the bulkheads so it seemed the only thing to do was remove them. Below is also the ply from the forward portside spaces.

Below: working my way back along the starboard side. I found it ok to go around the fiberglass with a chisel instead of grinding, less dust to breath.

It starts coming down as I work along the edge. It wasn’t adhered to the ply much at all, and the ply wasn't adhered to the deck either. The ply was also waterlogged from all the leaks.

The glass wasn't in bad shape at all, it just wasn't stuck fast. The hole up front was from the water fill.

Get in the devil with a couple pry bars…

And Voila!

You can tell where the ply was not originally adhered. I'm guessing around 50% of it was never stuck fast to begin with. Seems shoddy to me.

Kinda fascinating, below, when the ply came down it left only a trace amount of wood stuck in the glass, almost looks like the wood itself.

The only real crack I see is from the mast step back, at the arrow.

The bits below were from the very forward part of the boat.

I have some finish work in the overhead with chisel and then I'd like to sand it all with coarse paper to prep it for the new ply. The "68" I thought was written is actually 28 as I found it on some of the plywood pieces. They must have been cut to a template and stacked on piles, marked 28 so they knew which size boats they were for.
