Last Class

Well we had our last class and chance as a group to work on the Marissa. We continued to work on cleaning up the fiberglass work done over the past weeks and started to build in deck supports and consider the next step. We have learned much about building a boat, learned, and improved skills of boat building. We all thank Joe Clay for his excellent help and guidance during the past weeks. "Joe we know its wood and we can fix it and make it right." Thanks.....

Details

We are spending our time on filleting and working on details of fitting parts of the boat. This is all important work but it all moves slowly. There is not to report about our progress. See some excellent photos on the left.

The Boat Was Turned Over

The inside of the boat now sees daylight

Yes to day was the day we had finished our tasks on the outside of the hull and we needed to turn the boat over to begin work on the inside of the hull. The boat was turn over slowly and with caution. Once it was resting on the blocks we started work in the inside strengthening the forward bulkhead and the transom. We filleted the inside of the hull and applied fiberglass and epoxy to the chine.
