I took a few minutes early (6:00AM) this morning to wet out all the remaining panels with epoxy. Everything is now done in terms of wetting out prior to assembly. There are lots of tasks on the go and I thought a brief pause to organize a list of items would be useful.
- Complete the centerline frame and splice in the new daggerboard trunk (done)
- Epoxy some stubs 1/16" offset from one side of the centerline of the hull bottom (inside the boat) for screwing the centerline frame in prior to filleting. These little wooden stubs are big enough to hold the frame vertical, and maintain the hull bottom curvature long enough to get the filleting done. Once the centerline frame is filleted and cured, the little blocks could be removed (done)
- Cut the Mahogany blanks into 1"x3/4" strips, reverse every second one and epoxy it back together. This stabilizes the blanks for making the foils
- Epoxy the chine logs to the inside of the hull bottom (done)
- Glue the stringers where needed on the bulkheads & frames (done)
- Think about hardware mounting locations and block accordingly (done - at least the thinking part!)
- Cut out the foam structural supports (done)
I'll add more as I think about it. I've got to get real work done for the next eight hours or so.
