jaguiler Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Nice - what kind of protection are you using on the front there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcone1381 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Jaguiler, what your looking at is kind of a gooned up area of the covering system that the photo exaggerated a bit. I covered the Ravenswood with 3 oz uncertified aircraft dacron, then dyed and sealed it with epoxy. It then was covered with 3.75 oz fiberglass. I sewed up the dacron at bow and stern, but a better choice would have been to glue the seam like I did where the deck and the hull covering meet. I could not get the glass cloth to lay right over that area. Although no destructive testing of The covering has been done, it is tough and tight like a drum. Sealing the dacron with epoxy after dyeing it turned out very nice. Thank you you for the nice comments., JReed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
