I was at it early today as I had to teach a class in the afternoon. I got at the boat at 630 am rehanging it in the slings to flip it over. This went smoothly and didn't take long. I guess lifting weights helps build the muscle strength needed to do this. I don't mind doing mindless/purposeless gym routines when I can apply it to real life lifting. Once I was into the 7 am hour and I could here the workers on the house being built a block away I fired up my sanders to take care of two fair patches I had done and rough glass and drips where I had overlapped the glass from the other side around. Next came a cleaning of the dust from the hull and then I laid out the glass cloth. To keep it smooth I hang spring clamps from it all the way around. I took my daughter to school and got right at glassing. By ten thirty I was done with the coating process. I had extra resin so I flipped the shelves I made yesterday over and gave them a coating. I also got the rudders out and glassed the upper cheeks. With an hour and a half until I needed to be at my teaching gig I got out the hull side panels and cut out one inner cabin side. Luckily I oversized the cut a bit though I didn't give it enough belly on the lower edge though this can be corrected. I may be encountering an issue because of how I'm deviating from Wharram's plans with an internal stringer but I've done it so I'll need to take care of it as I go along.
