Vaka: washing the blush and filling the weave

Five hours of work in the week end. We set the two newly coated amas apart and took out the vaka to wash it and then apply two coats of clear resin. Here's the vaka outside during the blush removal, +using running water, plastich brush and scotchbrite pad. The vaka is quite heavy but we did everything without external help.

We then put the hull back into the garage, upside down, and sanded the bottom with 120 grit using, as usual, power sander, sanding board and hand pad. Here's a view of the bottom during the sanding

We then gave two coats of clear resin using a foam roller. Here's how it looks with the second coat on.

Total work time to date: 634 hours.
