Salt Bay Skiff – Prepping the Hull for Fiberglass
This morning I prepped the hull for fiberglassing and then layered the glasses down with epoxy and secured the keel shoe.
Salt Bay Skiff – Turning Over
Today I had a friend help me turn her over this morning. I prepped the hull by filling all her screw holes and laying down the first layer of fiberglass around the daggerboard trunk were it meets the bottom of the hull. I then built the daggerboard.
Salt Bay Skiff – Touch-Up and Green Pinstripe
Today I did all the off-white touch up and added the jade green pinstripe to the top edge of her plywood sheer. We just have to wait a couple day for all the paint to dry completely, then turn her over to fiberglass and paint her hull.
