Repair Updates

The repairs are going along smoothly in the Pedlow garage. Here are some images:

Holes is the centerboard cap are being filled. A piece of mahogany is bedded in West System with colloidal silica. It will only need slight fairing after it cures and will be as strong as the original.

There we hamny 1/8" holes in the rail for some unkown reason. Filled with WS/CS mixture.

A closer look at the centerboard cap. Liberal masking keeps epoxy from getting everywhere it shouldn't.

Damage done to the bow by the trailer. Kevlar tape is being ordered for the repair. The trailer bow chock is also being replaced.

One hole for the launcher bra was actually drilled into the hull as opposed to just the rail. It's filled with WS/CS.

More pictures to come showing the aftermath.
