Skerry build day 46: sanding and more sanding (and epoxy)


Today I got to sand for hours trying to get the hull ready for primer + paint. The process has been fairly easy though I punted on some of the most difficult parts ('clear' spots around the bow/stern and near the chines. I hope these will hide quite well once the primer goes on. Enough is enough.

Here's the final result:




During the sanding I also ran into the wood on a couple spots. I thought it would happen on the chines (and it did) but I also got a few bare patches around the beam smack in the middle of a panel. Here's a nice example:



So...some more epoxy went on and my work will be delayed another day. Here's where I stand right now:



Time: 3.5 hours
Total: 130.5 hours
