Boring Epoxy pics for the next couple of pics yet it really makes the marine grade plywood show off.
Epoxy top side epoxied.
Portside cedar tip both had good and worth all the hand work to make them shine.
Starboard cedar tip detail turned out really nice.
Bow spirit hole in.
The final coat of epoxy makes it hard to know that this beauty will all be covered in paint later.
The bow rub rails are in with a little of a epoxy problem. I put these in between in events and done so in a quick way and recieved due punishment of epoxy that ran out the white that shows under the rail. A bit of sanding took care of it and yet clearly one step forward and two back.
The top mast and bow spirit complete.
LIMBO!!! Yes in the shop. Just kidding this the the boom at 8ft fits well in a 8ft shop just jam it between walls and start all that hand sanding. Way in the back round you can see the dagger board going together.
X frame going in used blue painters tape to keep the epoxy out of the slots.
This is quiet possibablity the bigest mistake. I knew that I would have to trim the X deck to length but never planed to trim the width. I was stupid enought to lay out and cut the slots to manfacured width and never occured to me that I may have to trim the width in. So here lies the proof that even well inted plan can still fail.
X deck is in I am at this point am just hoping that the scrap left over from the center board will be the right fix.
This was my fix to the mistake made when I laid out my X deck
Center Board I was running out of time. It is now May almost June and loosing good sailing weather time still building the boat. So I cheated a little on both the center board here and the dagger board. Ruffed out in the table saw and roughter and then planed and sanded by hand. Still lots of hand work I like doing it just wish I had started the build earlier so the good weather and water was not calling my name.
