The two attached to the hull and the partial bulkheads are glued in. The rest are just there for moral support

More temporary than I had anticipated. 

I'm about finished with my daggerboard half. My plan is to use this in a mould to make a female copy. I'll use this as a sanding block when shaping my actual board. 

My idea to support the hull for the next operations was successful, kind of. Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution that works. I worked all day without the wooden risers. There was no...

Tomorrow may be the last chance at epoxy temperatures without heating my shed. So I got the hull flipped and the bench supports dry fit. 

I built this boat last summer 2023  and have used it this summer 2024 to learn how to row. Very enjoyable boat. You can come test it as it lives on the Columbia River. Asking $1800 Includes th...

Next milestone: zips removed and interior glassed and taped.

@Thomas Krische It was a little more effort for sure, but I think it was worth it. My hull will definitely require less fairing as a result.

Hi Scott, Yes, I would coat everything with epoxy. I'm just starting to design and build my sliding seat for a CLC Annapolis Wherry too. Would love to see pictures of what you did.   Steve

Beginnings of what I'm hoping to turn into a mirage drive / daggerboard box

Bow, transom, and second coat of epoxy complete. I'll come back tonight for the third coat. A question if anyone is reading. I've run out of the raka epoxy from duckworks, but I do have epoxy from ...

Looking great! In retrospect I wish I had used the same technique, but I decided (poorly) that it would be more effort than it was worth. 

I used the zip tie and pvc technique I read about in another thread. Works great. I realized that using pvc with each zip tie is overkill. I experimented with spacing and decided about every third ...

The second side was much harder to smooth than the first. It had essentially no tack left, but was still a tiny bit soft. That was enough to make the cloth refuse to slide while smoothing it. Got i...

I love it when a boat goes 3D!

First side on! Back again in a couple of hours. 

I won't have time to glass the hull until middle of the week. Then it's on! Hopefully having the first layer out for a couple days won't hurt anything. I also rolled out and cut the second piece so...

Amas are now sealed up. Just between us, maintaining any level of professionalism while filleting their insides was "challenging". Let us never mention it again. I can safely deny that the insides ...
