First of all we had to remove several screws which were apparently impossible to extract even if they had been previously lubricated with WD40. We used a hot soldering iron to heat up the screws: the heat expands the screws in the hole and softens the resin, and this allowed us to remove all the screws.
We then set the hulls side to side on the table and removed some epoxy drips.
For the coming couple of weeks Cinzia will be out of town so I'll have to work alone. The next operation will be fairing the bottom stringers in preparation for the flat bottom.
Total work time to date: 126 hours
We havn't heard from you lately.Is all OK? We have been watching you since april 2013 and have enjoyed the commentary and videos.
ReplyDeleteHi there, unknown. Everything ok here after a major health problem last June: I had a stroke but I've been lucky enough to recover completely. I know we have been doing nothing oh the boat in the last couple of months for different reasons, but of course we'll be back at it any time soon to be ready for launch next summer. Thanks for asking!
