This week we see some tremendous progress on the fiberglass work on the roof of the coach house. While we had a couple of layers covering it quickly, the work needed to finish up. For 4 days the yard workers sanded, faired, sanded, faired, sanded primed, faired and sanded again. The results are a really good looking surface that is getting very close to getting painted.
We also clean up the mizzen step to prepare for the installation of the new mast and mizzen step. There was a little scare as the yard was not able to find the mizzen step. The good news is the aluminum part was down below in the galley and I had the wooden base in my car. I get the mast step prepared for installation in this video.
With a cracked wooden hatch frame, I also show how to make a repair out of epoxy resin including coloring the resin with sawdust to get closer to the final color of the finished material.
