Hi Ben. Im surpriced watching your effords trying to build your ship.My opinion on your problem. You should have sealed the interior firstly,i mean the inner shell to avoid any structures timber deformation when it contacts with water.Its important also before paint the body to use wood sealant colour putty just to ensure its sealled,and before use any paint or varnish ,need to apply a primer oil. Excelent work
