striperick Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Sacrificial keel added, hollow back stainless shaped and eye hook drilled. Priming progress.

keen2buildagain Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hi Rick, Good to see you are back into it, she looks a fine vessel! Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striperick Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thank you Trev I have been following your build as well. Not much to report here but the temperatures are going to start being in my favor for painting. That stuff is nasty in the garage. Prime, longboard sand . Prime longboard sand arghhhhh . chasing the hollow spots .... all epoxy primer I have all the confidence in the world to follow Grahams waterline location. I am thinking of at least getting one coat of bottom paint on now ( or maybe both) while she is upside down . Is this the right approach ? I have heard good things about petit hyrdo coat for my intended area. it is ablative and friendly to boats w/ bunks. Then paint the sides. Make small adjustments w/ boot stripe later . Would I be better off w/ the bottom paint too low (under the waterline slightly ) ? I would think i could always scuff topsides a little and add bottom paint as I probably will end slightly heavier than graham designed. Always looking foward for advice.

striperick Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Had to take her away from home. There was no way I was going to spray awlgrip at home. I really wanted a sprayed finish at least on the hull sides. The color is Awlgrip H 4368 Sea shell green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Looks like you spent a couple hours sanding. Nice finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I sure hope you wanted a perfectly smooth super shiny boat! Geez, I think the only thing I've ever owned that shiny are blades and mirrors. Really stunning, excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keen2buildagain Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 WOW! You're going to have a great looking boat! I am up top the floor stage at the moment and was wondering if you (or anyone else) could shed some light on what weight of cloth should be used to glass over the ply floor. I was thinking of using the same as the bottom and sides (12Oz) but don't want to go add any extra weight if I don't have to. Maybe if it is only for abrasion reasons,..... 6Oz?

Designer Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Trev, I usually go with heavier than 6 oz. for the cockpit sole. You do not want it to be punctured if someone drops something heavy or sharp. I typically use 10 oz. or about 350 gsm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
