No work yesterday due to a SE gale and heavy rain.
This morning we moved onto the final stages of epoxy buildup on the waterline and areas of hull which required refinishing.
Stern tube showing somewhat agricultural modifications to accommodate the Stripper rope cutter. Gelcoat and laminate have been hacked away unevenly with the stern tube exposed in places. We cannot source a neoprene cutlass bearing here so the original will have to suffice.
Epoxy resin almost complete and we now have a smart new step ladder replacing the one that failed on tuesday. Tie coat has been applied most of the hull.
Epoxy sanded back and surface filler applied to skeg and stern tube area.
Surface filler to complete refinishing of hull blemish.
Final touches to another blemish near the starboard bow.
Epoxy resin waterline reconstruction at the bow.
Gelcoat repairs to chips, blemishes and scratches at the bow caused by unplanned anchor contacts.
