Skerry build day 33: inside fiberglass

Finally I got to the inside 'glass. I had to spend another couple of hours sanding, then went on to put the fiberglass in the hull. By now the process was quite easy, except for cutting off the fiberglass at the end. There was always the one strand that wouldn't cut and ended up pulling the fiberglass off the hull as I was trying to remove the scraps. Eventually it all worked out and it's all done for now.

The only other small project was to start epoxying the daggerboard trunk. If I'm lucky that will go into the boat tomorrow evening and I'll be all ready for the interior fillets next.

Second coat of epoxy went on as well. The hardest/most time consuming part was getting rid of the masking tape I was using to protect the #2 panels while laying the fiber. I should have taken this out as soon as I cut the fiberglass.

Time: 8 hours
Total: 100 hours
