Bateau Corsair 13 - March 27

Got home around 9PM but could not resist taking a look at how all the glass we did over the weekend settled. Found a few spots along the chine near the bow end where the glass lifted of a lower layer. Maybe putting too many layers one on top of the other particularly where legdes are formed is not a good idea. They are small enough to sand out and fill.

What I really wanted to see though was the inside seams we'd glassed on Saturday because I was worried that their hanging upside down all of Sunday may have separated them from each other or the wood. To do this however we had to flip the boat over, not an easy task now. I guess we were all tired because the boat slipped and fell about a foot or so to the concrete floor. It was the corner of the chine at the transom that got the brunt of the impact. To our relief, only a small piece of fiberglass at the edge of the tape chipped off. Having been curring for a whole week, it suppose the epoxy have fully cured. It was lucky that the bow end did not slip having just been glass the day before.

After recovering from the anxiety, I checked the inside seams. All look like their curing nicely, all solidly attached to each of the layers.

Will try to get the inside bow seams glassed before the weekend. So I can work on the dagger board and seat tops.
