Ready to glue the sole

Four hours of work today. It's getting hotter here in southern Italy, so a new fridge is mandatory now.
We worked with rasp, Surform and sandpaper to fair and round the daggerboard trunk edges at the sole (to be fair Cinzia did most of the work). Here's how it looked before


and here it is, almost done


We the covered the edge with fiberglass tape and resin. Going around the corners is not easy, but we trust much in fairing with putty...

We also filled the screw holes in the rudder plank, and we sanded and cleaned all sole supports in the main hull in preparation for the sole glueing session.

Total work time to date: 298 hours
