Skerry build day 38: mast step, daggerboard, and rudder

Today I sanded and epoxied the mast step, and added fiberglass to the leading edge of the rudder and daggerboard (the idea being that they'll better survive groundings... We'll see how well that works.

Browsing the internet a bit I found a scary mast step story: http://www.clcboats.com/forum/clcforum/thread/16140.html. I'm definitely going to put epoxy fillets on mine.

A second coat of epoxy on mast step and one side of dagger board/rudder completed the day. Weather's in the 100s so it's not much fun to work on the boat now.
