Another long week in the boatyard. Things are moving right along. All the glassing is pretty much finished. Just have the corners to do on the hatch doors. Finished up everything, and then began with the gel-coat. The work put in before the final painting is never truly appreciated. The paint is just color and gloss, but everyone thinks that it is the work. It is only the finish.
Another week the boatbuilding team has stepped up to the plate. Now, it’s up to the woodworking team and the welding team to get into the swing.
A custom fuel tank for 100 gallons, a frame for the Capitan’s seat, and an awning will get things nice and cool.
Then, the woodworking department will put a nice teak caprail and seats.
When everything is done, the electronics, electrical and mechanical teams will be next… The new motor is just sitting there in the crate, waiting to be brought to life. I’m beginning to think that maybe I should be building boats… like I’ve done for the past 20 years of weekends… hmmm… maybe I should post some of my portfolio…
