Coating the vaka bulkheads

Only three hours this week end. The temperature dropped to freezing values so working is somehow uncomfortable and resin takes ages to cure.
Anyway, we took measurements from the dry assembled hull to correct the shape of the floor which had been traced according to the plans. Turns out that only the width values at the bulkheads are wrong (by 2-3 cm) so we will streamline the panels a bit towards the bulkeads.
We then resin coated and filled the screw holes on one face of the vaka bulkheads, transom, false transom and stem. Next time we'll coat the other side.
We also found that the daggerboard trunk position is ambiguously reported on the plans so we're checking this with John Marples.


Total work time to date: 247 hours
