Moving right along

It is amazing what you can get done when you have a chance to work at it.  Spent the morning and late afternoon glassing the forward section of the starboard main stringer. So both stringers are done all the way up to the forward engine room bulkhead.

Not much to look at, but it sure feels good to have that done. Tomorrow I hope to finish the port side main stringer. I spent some time today filling and gluing the old glass work back in place so I can glass over the whole mess.

Looks like a real Frankenstein mess. The plywood in the inboard side of the stringer was  rotten in that whole area. It is all solid now and tomorrow it will all be glassed over.

 Filled in this interesting little hole I found way down at the bottom of the bilge all the way forward under the generator. They had a 3/4" thruhull with a cap screwed on it  there. I never knew it was there and you would never have been able to get to it way down under the generator...So it is glassed up on the inside and will get another 6 layers of glass over it. Then I will grind a tapered area out on the outside to fill in as well.


Midday was spent buying more 1.5Oz mat. I finally decided to buy a roll, it is about 1/2 price that way. I did not realize how much glass it takes!!! I think I have gone through 30 yds just reglassing the stringers.
