What I actually bought
Bought for very little, which should have told me something. Moisture meter reads high right through the aft deck and the centreboard trunk weeps.
Writing the honest scope down now so I can compare it to reality later.

O'Day Daysailer restoration
by Example Logs
· boatbuildlog.com
An example restoration log. Shows how a restoration diverges from a new build: survey and teardown first, and a scope that grows once you open things up.
This is an example log, not a real project.
It exists to show what a useful build log looks like — dated entries, tagged to a step,
with hours recorded and mistakes written down. The technique in it is illustrative;
don’t follow it as instruction, and check anything structural against your
designer’s drawings. Its hours are excluded from the site’s median figures.
