August - September 7th update
Sanding of the fairing compound is almost (bar a transom) complete,
unfortunately I have run out of microballoons and my epoxy is almost finished, and I tried to order more the day the supplier was due to go on summer vacation - forgetting that some businesses shut for summer vacation - final story is my epoxy order could only be fulfilled at the beginning of September - so I have to wait while it gets shipped, by ship to me - there is a half a transom and the edges of chines that need fairing balloons
- Meanwhile - I am in the process of preparing the workshop for flipping the hull, and in the meantime, working out dimensions for the interior and also the interior layout, bulkhead cutouts, how the hatches will be built and how the companionway will be completed. I have also welded up some blocks to rotate the hull
- the workshop beams are in progress of strengthening to take the weight of the boat, the rudder has had a layer of glass cloth added
The garden has been tamed - Family and friends are visiting and the last of summer is being enjoyed, my self imposed build time had not been met, but that is OK, the build is enjoyable and once the materials arrive the the build pace will continue.
