Fiberglassing the vaka (7)

Five hours this week end, to prepare and fiberglass the port side of the vaka (main hull). We first faired the starboard side which we had fiberglassed the previous time 



We then cleaned the starboard side and turned the hull on the other side. It's getting heavier, but we could do that in a restricted space with no difficulties



We then prepared the side for fiberglassing, first sanding down fg edges and epoxy runs and then removing the dust and cleaning the surface with an alcool damp rag, and draped the fg cloth on it


More than one liter of epoxy was needed to laminate the fiberglass on the side.


Now all the three hulls are completely fiberglassed. We're getting there.. what's next?

Total work time to date: 489 hours
