Glassing and other bits and bobs from last week
glued in the infill for the Sapele mast support, the prepared Sapele mast support is really heavy as are the keel bearers/frames so they will be installed once the boat is turned so gravity can assist - the inside fillets were all done when the hull panels and bottom panels were glued on so that the hull frames, bulkheads and stringers are chemically bonded with the hullsides and hull bottom, a huge amount of wet on wet filletting was done at the hullside and bottom glueing stage to ensure super strength
all the edges were well radiased so the glass lies well over the edges
6 layers of glass 1200 gms on the bottom chine and 3 layers 600gm on the side chine
and peel ply to smooth it all and reduce sanding
pulling off the peelply with the lights off creates "peelply borealis",
Its a weird phenomenon, but I could not capture it on video
sorry for the lack of pictures but glassing is a sticky process
