I Love Long Boarding


The sanding of the Peacemaker has begun.  We are using long board sanders to fair the hull (make smooth).  Right now the boat is not very fair at all because it was built poorly, so this sanding may take awhile.

Long boarding is hard work

Long boarding is so much "fun"

Long boarding covers the shop in not-healthy dust, so we have to wear the full face respirator.  It gets very hot and sweaty under the mask when you are long boarding.

The repairs on the main bulkhead are coming along well.  The first step was to apply a large fiberglass patch to one corner of the bulkhead.

It was a pretty big vacuum bag

Then we added a fiberglass patch to the other side of the main bulkhead.  The final step will be to add fiberglass around the inside of the door way to connected the two skins.


Finally, we finished added fiberglass reinforcements to the tack line tubes.
