Re: Reefie's LB26
Unbelievable craftsmanship! So a flip is in the near future!!! Can hardly wait to see the other side!

Re: Reefie's LB26
I am sure taking the time to get the glass all laid out and in place to start with is a huge help. Your work is so clean I believe you will reap a huge reward when doing the fairing.

Re: Reefie's LB26
Things sure look great Reefie.
Have you been doing any prefairing or filling at the overlaps or just sanding?

Re: Reefie's LB26
Thanks Jeff, piperdown, OrangeQuest, Eric, Fuzz and Fallguy.
I have the Starboard side all prepped for glassing tomorrow
Piperdown we have fruit orchards and are just about to commence our harvest. There is also all the weed control, fertilizing, irrigating etc... that comes with the warming weather. I too have my kids helping out during the harvest - mind you they get paid pretty well so they have a fairly good intensive
Staggering the overlaps as per the plans and sanding to feather the edges for a smooth transition.
Cheers,
Reefie

Re: Reefie's LB26
Pay close attention to that line friends. Staggering is part of the magic.
Re: Reefie's LB26
Well today marks a significant milestone for me - the external hull laminations are complete!!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEE
By my crude calculations I have laid on approx 110 kg (242 pounds) each of glass and epoxy
Happy building everyone!
