Shifted gears a bit. Working on the windscreen. Mocking it up and gonna fab in aluminum after some thoughts.

Well, work continues. Some slow days. Yesterday, I spent two hours looking for a rubber gasket material I bought last September 20 before it got too cold to work outside.

I have a goal to finish all vac bag work in the next two weeks. There is only a little bit left. Then my vac table can become a work surface.

Today, I am laminating the aft beam locker middle section from Hd 12# corecell 12mm and a couple of locker tops in 20# coosa and the step risers for the helm riser also in 20# coosa.

They all get glassed on one side only as there are no perfs. Probably could have two sided, but feeling like I need to do a good job here towards the end.

Will I be able to launch this summer is the big question. I'd like to think it is attainable, but it is a high goal. I really need about 6 months which puts me back into freezing crap. A possibility is getting the thing done and heading down to Florida with it for the winter.

I have all the components to do my electrical wiring now. But it might be next week before I get to it. I am trying to get ready for the welding guy to spot the windscreen and draw up the hardtop and would be best if I had the riser fitted first, but it isn't quite done...one more spot of fairing.

That is a real nice looking door.

The door was built by Bomon in Quebec.

Not frustrating at all. You finally get the time to work on the boat. Your back pain, for a few brief moments, isn't forcing you into the fetal position. The stars are aligned to make some serious headway, and......"where the !@#$ is that gasket!?"

Brutal.

Paint job at the helm ain’t too shabby either.

Marathon to the finish, Dan!

As soon as I get the Newwire switch panel, I am going to laminate red carbon over the console. The carbon is done, just need to do the lamination. Vacuum? Maybe.
