Day 35: Hatch Gutter Installation

Ahh, back at the shop today as the cold front has finally broken.  Still pretty cold temps today but hopefully improvement by tomorrow.  Tom came up from town and we got right to it.


This is a pic of Tom cutting down the boatman's well thwart for the hatch lid to nestle in.  We cut down all 4 sides of the well and the thwart for both the bow and stern hatch.

I also continued sanding the fairing compound in the corners all over the boat.  After a week of cold temps the stuff was finally cured enough to sand easily.








Tom's looking good in his mad-scientist outfit!

Once we made a nice mess with the saw, we got the place cleaned up and readied for some glassing.



We glassed the underside of all the hatch gutters...would have done more (deck pieces) if we had the space.
