| October 7, 2007 Here is a better shot of the gluing method. I glue it first with epoxy/silica, let it cure. Then cover with 3 inch wide 6 ounce fiberglass tape and wet with unthickened epoxy. |
| October 7, 2007 The bulwark is attached next with copper wire stitches. I have not glued it yet. I ran out of silica. |
| October 7, 2007 My motor will be an inboard trolling motor. So I axed the outboard motor support as called for in the plans. This saved some weight. Also, the upper part of the stern was redesigned to be a solid piece rather than two separate pieces as in the plans. I made it out of 3/4 inch Douglas Fir for a little added strength on the stern. I have a tendency to overbuild. |
| October 7, 2007 A view from the stern. The solid rear is better visible here. The bulwarks look a bit out of kilter here but I have not glued it yet. Adjusting the stitches will fix this. These adjustments are why I use wire stitches instead of plastic zip ties like some builders do. Running Total: 21 hours |
