Some progress this week:
More fairing, trying to get some of the pin holes filled on the surface. These are a result of air trapped between the laminate and the mold during the infusion process. We added a flange at the bow. This will provide a surface for some thickened epoxy for bonding to the deck. Once the deck is on, we'll through bolt the chainplate for the headstay here and get even more integrity at the bow. The flange will be scuffed up and trimmed back some when the deck is fitted.
A flange was also added at the stern to receive the deck. The deck part was trimmed short. This flange will tie in the deck to the hull, then require some additional reinforcement and fairing.
note where deck terminates








Next, we'll add an Anderson bailer just aft of the centerboard trunk on centerline.
