A little help from my Friend

Our good friends from Virginia Jim and Jerryanne stopped by for a brief visit. While they were here we went for a lovely sail in some gusty winds, and Jim helped me put the foredeck on.

The deck is upside down on the bench. The underside has received two coats of low viscosity epoxy.

Jim is spreading thickened epoxy on the deck beams while I mix up another batch.

If you look closely you can see epoxy spread on the deck beams. I used a notched trowel to even out the coating. In the foreground you can see some of the reinforcement for the tabernacle.

Here comes the deck epoxy still sticky.

Trying for an accurate touchdown so we don't smear the epoxy everywhere.

There she is now let's strap her down.

Cam straps hold the deck down to the curve and steady it. Small adjustments can be made but it is not sliding all over the place.

Foredeck is in place. Temporary screws hold the edges down.



Thanks Jim.
