Look above in FS-17ls page 8. I built spray rails with this method and they worked very well. Right out of the mould they are very flexible.

Thanks Fuzz. I'm looking for that post but haven't found it yet.

After laying this template in place, your method has me thinking though.

I might be able to use the template as a mold on the hull, and fill the bottom side, on the high side anyway, with thickened epoxy, then fill in the void between were the template met the hull on the low side, and the newly created dam.

Or, revert to shaping some solid wood.

Great thread, Fuzz! Thanks for the link.

If you want them curved, you will have to laminate something. It is much easier to run them straight and besides a little better spray deflection, I see no other benefit.

Easier is fine at this point. I'm looking forward to primer!

Simplified strake profile adopted and glued in place x4.






Aft quarter spray rails shaped, scribed to fit and and glued in place. I was expecting this portion of the hull to be relatively straight, but had to scribe about 3/8" in the middle to get them to sit tight to the hull. I think they look good. Intend to finish them bright.





Everything glued down this weekend will get a quick, (I hope), once or twice over with fairing compound, then ready for primer.

I hope this is my last post before the boat changes color with a coat of primer!

She's pretty fair overall, but need some primer to show me where I've missed. Blocked with up to 80 grit at this point. Will take it up to 150 before spreading primer.

Looking great, Dan, you're a workhorse! Looking forward to the primer "revelation".

It's a bit of an obsession. Slow and steady is all I've got.
