Monday 9 July 2012

So I got it outside and painted and realize that I still have to do a little bit more epoxy work.  Good thing the weather is going to be great this week.

Here's the run down of what happened today.

One final look at it in the dining room.  Stern to Bow view.


Hatch installed.  Lookin' good.


Front handle, done like dinner.


In the down position.


Sides all epoxied up.


Lee board in the down position.  I'm making the lee boards longer.  This is just a prototype.


Bow to stern view.


Presto!  In the back yard.


It was so scared to be outside it turned white.


Mast is NOT full height.  Just a trial.


Closer view.


Lookin' good.


List of things to fix.

Epoxy down wing mount washers.
Hatch tubing gave way at one corner.  Need to fix.
Little stainless steel bushing on lee board side piece popped off on Port side.  Need to re-epoxy in.
Forgot to install the most important piece in the whole set-up.
The cup holder.

The next project is all set-up in the dining room.  Pontoons for the sailing rig.

I shall half assemble one then get the lines off it to cut the other one out.  Sounds simple enough, but we'll see what happens.


Getting closer to being done.

Also have designed a new paint job.  Should be brighter, more simplistic, and more patriotic.

A special thanks to Jason for helping me out today.  Without him today wouldn't have happened.

Thanks Jason.
