Looks a lot better than ....
There are 2 layers of 1708 biax plus 1 layer of 1.5 Oz. Mat on each stringer. I glassed the vertical leg in first and then the horizontal leg. So each stringer takes 6 pieces of cloth and the there are 5 stringers to each side which makes it 30 pieces in total. No wonder I am tired tonight.
I actually finished that work about 1:30 had lunch and went back to grind and prep the rudder log for glassing.
For some reason they did not make it the full width of the space between the two main stringers. So I filled the spaces in with expanding foam then trimmed it flush with the log and stringer tops. It also did not fit back to the transom so I filled that as well. Thursday I will glass everything together so it will be in there solid, plus it will be easier to mount the steering gear. Just another 16 pieces of cloth, but they are smaller. The last job in here will be to strengthen the lower horizontal stringer across the transom. The I will finally be done with correcting and reinforcing the internal structure of the hull.
