 sand deckhead fillets, mast bulkhead watertight hatch installed


today the mast bulkhead watertight hatch was installed onto a sapele frame that is epoxied onto the mast bulkhead, in effect increasing the size of the mast support. It still has to get its seal and the closures and of course some epoxy coating, 







and it can be removed and stored away if not needed, or used for chartwork, etc etc, ala James Wharrams flexispace

The coamings for the lazarette hatch are made and they will be epoxied on once the deck is glassed as it will be easier to glass the cockpit without the hatch coamings in place



and the deckhead fillets are being sanded
