Chesapeake 17 Hybrid Day 8

Progress, but slow going today.  Put the boat in the front yard so I could get the foot braces measured.  Once they were marked I drilled holes in the sides for their eventual attachment.
The deck beam was glued and screwed in place.  Drips and drops were cleaned up or scraped off. Tomorrow there's sanding inside and out of the hull, the inside will get another light coat of epoxy.

Ready to mark where the foot braces will go.

Wonder if I'll fit in it ?
Time to find out!

Maybe I'll leave the deck off?


Mark the spot!

Back to work.

Deck beam glued with epoxy that's thickened with cabosil, a very fine silica powder.

Foot brace, and the location for installation. Not too noticeable but where the marks are it has been reinforced with a strip of fiberglass and epoxy.



Holes in my boat.
