Inside of storage compartments, seat hatches, center board work

I coated the insides of the storage compartments with 2 coats of epoxy. I got some free marine paint from a friend and put one coat in there so it will be easier to see. I may have to sand and recoat in some places.









Here you can see the center board with a polypropylene rope on the leading edge. This was recommended by other builders. You soak the rope in epoxy and it protects the board from damage.










And I've been working on the seat hatches. I made some parts twice.











And this showed up on the doorstep, so I have not been very diligent with the boat.



I really need to order the aluminum tubing for the masts. I haven't had the money to spend so I've been holding off. I have plenty more to do now, but soon I'll need the masts to go forward.


This Saturday is the local Wooden Boat Show which I look forward to all year.
