Building a sailboat
Sunday, May 11, 2008
After a long layover, I finally got to work again. This afternoon I sealed the inner joints between the bottom and sided with a fillet of thickened epoxy and 2 layers of fiberglass tape.

Turned over
Last week Judy and I put the fiberglass on the bottom. Judy had the idea to use a foam roller and it worked great! what would I do without her?
This weekend we rolled it over with the help of 5 friends. now it's time to seal the seams from the inside.

Seams Taped
I got the sides taped to the bottom. It is moving along better than I thought. so far no major snags or mess ups.

This closeup of the transom shows temporary screws and more spot welds.
Spotwelding
There are large gaps between the sides and the bottom. First I attached the two temporarily with wire ties.
Next I "spot welded" the sides to the bottom with epoxy and fiber glass.
here is a close up showing the spo0t weld, a wire tie and a tempory screw
