Contessa 26 Refit ep.21 - Building a Boat Shed

Documenting the refit of a 1975 Contessa 26 - J.J. Taylor build. Not an instructional video; recording for my own reference. Building a gothic arch boat shed in my back yard.

Wow, I'm very impressed! Wish I came across this style of shed a year ago. This is the nicest version I have seen to date. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Alan!

Inspiring job! I'm definitely filing this away as a 'Plan B', in case I can't find a suitable space to build my 37'6" Benford Sailing Dory in!

You mentioned condensate management near the end of the video. Please share a description of how much condensate you get and any tips on minimizing it and associated problems

[@EpoxyAndButylTape]

The condensation formed because the ground was wet inside. I keep the vents at the peak of each side open, but once the ground dried out after about two weeks, no more condensation.
The only other time condensation formed was after a week of rain and water seeped into ground under the shed, but even then, it dried out after a couple days.

Mind me asking how it fared in strong wind conditions?

[@EpoxyAndButylTape]

It’s withstood, two winters, strong winds… including one hurricane, and no problems whatsoever.
