Bulwark foam

From Ken Smith, Polar Mist, 49VT07

Thought you might like these aft bulwark pics. Looks like they used various different types of foam, whatever they had, some not cured and never filling the whole space.


From what we have discovered it appears the yard drilled holes  through the hull to deck joint; sometimes a slot and poured foam into these openings. We believe they did this in stages not knowing how much. We have found evidence of the pour lines and several different foams used. Some were not fully mixed and still gooey.  Some spaces were never fully filled as you can see in the pictures below.  We even found a copy on Taiwan funny paper (I kid you not)--no shoes found yet.


Pictures below show a big void going around the corner to port.
