Happy Father’s day to all of you dad’s out there. The boys are home this week-end but the family let me work on the boat some. Here are a few pics of what I got done before the rain started. We really need the rain so……

I finished the frames to hold the boat upside down so I’m working on the keel to fare it out to get ready to tape the seam. Then some more faring and get ready for the bottom outside skin. I’m also working on closing the access hole on the port side around the chine. I scuffed up the area, fitted a piece of carbon, wetted it out with a bog of west systems epoxy with 404 thickener, lay-up up the carbon, then put the cut-out back in and clamped in place.

If this was a repair job there would be more of lay-up but in this case the cut-out had a lay-up on the back of the foam already. Then you would place the foam over the inside skin.
