My journey to refurbishing (and hopefully sailing) a 1962 Pearson Triton on the Chesapeake Bay.

Back to the icebox
I finally went back to the icebox today. I cut out a bunch of templates on cardboard then transferred them over to the insulation, then trimmed them all 8 gazillion times before installing them. The first layer I put in today is 2 inches thick, although it doesn't look it in the picture because I had to cut out a bit to fit them around the top supports. I also cut out the holes for both drains in this layer.
There will be another layer on top of this one, but I haven't decided if I will do 1 or 2 inch. I'm kind of leaning towards 1 inch right now just to keep this as roomy as possible. Cold is nice, but if you can't fit anything it seems a little pointless. Either way, I need to buy the insulation so it isn't going to be in the next couple days.
Tomorrow I am planning on buying some spray foam to fill in the little gaps left behind and try to even everything out a bit better, but you all know how my plans tend to work out.
