A full rainbow shows during a brief break in the storm banging down on downtown Port Townsend 1/22/2012 |
First coat starts at the transom and continues until just past the viewing angle of this photo... as a bit of motivation.
Rob shows me how to epoxy/glass the pockets he just ground out of the starboard keel.
Above, you can see the new stiffening bulkhead, connecting the aft of each keel to the sides of the hull. This can be cut down when we're ready to re-install the berths. (next year?)
1) the mast, cutting down a douglas fir tree next to my house and will dry it out here in the shop.
2) Mast step
3) Mast partners through the deck.
4) Mast opening
5) epoxy paint on repaired keels.
WooHoo!

Update: Found a used mast that is way too tall, but that is easy to fix. It was a stayed mast, so it's thinner than an unstayed mast of that hight would have been, so it's almost the perfect diameter (4.6"-5") at the partners. The big job will be removing all the hardware and the bronze sail channel, but I'm beginning to envision sailing in Goblin... a long way to go, but do-able.
