One of the factors of re decking Simon's boat has been that he is a dairy farmer down at Yankalilla and I live at McLaren Vale [40+km's]so he comes Sat/Sun to work on the boat between the morning and afternoon milkings! I know when he is just around the corner because the temp plummets and it rains!
It was cool when the decks were epoxied on so we left it for a few days prior to removing the temp fixings, no issues so the excess deck was trimmed away, dagger board slots and hatches cut out and two coats of epoxy applied [still raining!]
