Not sure I am catching up but I am making progress. Most of the hull sides including the inside bows under the tramps, and the D section have been bogged and sanded back, so next is a spot fill and another sand. The D sections needs a little more attention, I dont intend for it […]
Glassing or taping is a very satisfying job. It is relatively easy, (except for long upside down taping) but the reason it is satisfying is psychological.

I had a number of small jobs completed today. I glassed the outside of the second dagger case half and another coat of resin on the inside of the case. I also glued in the keelsons in the starboard hull (which meant I had to remove the deck panel but it is sufficiently set to […]
The benefit of being organised is one job after another can be lined up ready to go. I got 4 different pieces of glass on today, the inside of the second dagger case half, the second daggerboard, and both of the inside bow panels. I also bogged the dagger and I had to cove the […]
