In this episode, Peter focuses on resolving leaks and restoring various wooden features on Poem, his 28 ft classic wooden motor cruiser from 1938, paying special attention to the troublesome foredeck and sliding hatch. He also demonstrates his method for improving scuppers to prevent water buildup and addresses challenges like repairing damage caused by moisture over the years.

Despite some frustrations, including the unexpected difficulty of removing and repairing the hatch frame, viewers get a close look at the meticulous sanding, varnishing, and sealing work required to preserve the Poem's charm and functionality.
