I had hoped to get a couple of hours each of Monday and Tuesday to get into 70 hours and to have both case exits sanded. Unfortunately I only got to work one of the afternoons and only got one of them done. The port hull. I sanded the bog down and discovered that here […]
It was such a beautiful winter day today that I decided to have a light day and take Jo (an Jake) out for a late lunch at The Entrance. So all I did today was to grind down the starboard case overhang to flush with the hull panel (removing the copper epoxy) and glassing the […]

I have removed the strip planked side decks again for the last time in order to finish gluing and glassing the dagger cases in and glassing some of the deck panels from inside on the starboard hull including […]
