Coating, and daggerboard


Today many (including us) took a day off since tomorrow is a holiday in Italy (Republic Day). We call this "ponte" (literally "bridge"). So we could work 4 hours at the boat.

First, we cut the centerboard hole in the centrale sole panel.




We also gave two coats of resin to the other two sole panels and to the daggerboard trunk


We then laminated the centerboard plank from 3 layers of plywood (15-6-15 mm) glued with thickened resin. We used sheetrock screws to squeeze the sandwich along the central line, and a liberal amount of clamps all around.



Total work time to date: 289 hours
