Reluctant sale of my steel junk schooner Maya.
I have recent receipts for 70k much more money spent, on a full external, back to bare metal refit. She at least needs a new ceiling inside as removed for welding. I was planning on refitting most of the interior. I have run out of money and need to sell her.
I have 100s more pictures of her restoration.
Below a list of some works carried out over an 18 month period by Chris of master blaster in alcudia Mallorca. Finish June 2019.

MAYA
The following are works were carried out during 2018-19 on the yacht Maya. Inside a plastic tent constructed to protect the boat while the work was carried out.
Stripping
All areas of the exterior of the hull were stripped to the metal
-The hull was sand blasted using aluminum silicate, with very little signs of rust and only two small areas of filler.
-Due to filler the deck was first chipped to remove this then it was also blasted with the same. -This was not a quick process but as the areas were stripped the same day they were painted with an epoxy anti-oxidant primer international Interguard 269.
-The cockpit was stripped out dials, helm, teckdeck, jammers, main hatch.
-All hatches and windows to the rear cabin were removed. These areas were blasted inside and out.
- The bildge under the water tanks and base around the main mast was blasted painted with interguard and then danboline.
Welding
The blasting on the deck revealed several issues so a welder was called in to rectify these.
- New boom supports were installed.
-All stanchions were removed and reset.
-All old deck rings were removed due to them being rust traps and constantly rusty and being welded to the deck and new stainless steel ones fabricated so the could be bolted in to place. -A large piece of plate was replaced near the formast due to bad pervious repairs and badly installed winch switches and bad previous filler which had trapped rust.
- There were a number of small welding repairs to be done all over the deck (old screw/bolt holes) that were filled with weld.
- A number of deck fittings that were no longer needed removed and their holes filled with weld.
-The rear left hand side bollard had lots of rust around its base this was removed and re- plated.
-The rings on the push pit were a rust trap so a small piece of rail was removed and a new piece with a flat plate re-placed it so the stainless rings could be installed.
-Due to the size of the anchor the bow roller was removed and enlarged which caused the lower rail on the pulpit to be removed.
-The deck drain in the cockpit was renewed.
-New gunwales were cut near the bow bollards.
-a surveyor was called to check the thickness of the steel deck and he found that it was a minimum of 3mm
Paint
Five coats of coppercoat were applied to below the waterline, and that thst just not need repainting for nearly 10 years though it will need annual or bi annual maintenance depending on usage and storage.
When all welding work was finished all the welded areas were then blasted and primed with the interguard.
-Before the welding was carried out hull sides were airless sprayed with 2 coats International Interprime 450 and to even out any ugly welds and to even up a small amour of filler was used. -Due to the deck being very uneven it needed a large amount of filler to rectify this, Interfill 833 was used.
-The deck, stanchions and cockpit were then sprayed with 3 coats of International Interprotect grey epoxy primer.
-All that is now white was primered with 2 coats of International Perfection white primer, then topcoated by 2 coats of International Perfection Snow white topcoat.
-The stanchions and other pieces now grey were primered with more Interprotect and topcoated by 2 coats Perfection Platinum topcoat.
-The non-slip was rollered on one coat then non-slip grit then another coat to cover the grit

-new block for roller guide.
-new teak deck.
-new grid in cockpit.
-Jammer supports were sanded
