The building of 2.

The bulb plug is made from some polywood and a bit of P.U. foam to start with. After that it was a matter of grinding and sanding until I got the form that I was looking for. After that I had to paint it, to get a nice smooth surface. If you are interested in this plug, it is For Sale.

The glass fibre. I did put on the glass fibre cloth a little bit diver end than most people do. First I covert the whole skin of the hull with glass fibre cloth that I fastened with a staple at the outside of the cloth. After that I did cover the whole hull lane fore lane with epoxy. I think that it is match easier to work like this, than that you first put the epoxy on and than the glass fibre cloth and after that put some more epoxy on to fill the cloth with epoxy. It work't out very fine at my boot. O.k. maybe I had a little bit more work with ungassing the epoxy, but you will need to do that in they other case also.

Finally epoxy coating. After that I had all the glass fibre in place It became time to putt the epoxy on. I think that needed for the first layer about 9 litres. For the second and the third layer I needed about 2 litre every time. In between the second and the third layer I sanded the whole hull to take of the upstanding pieces of glass fibre, and the high spots.

The rudders and the dagger board. I heart a few guy's talk about problems with broken rudders and dagger board's. So I decided that it maybe better to make them a bit stronger by putting some carbon fibre on them.

Filler, sanding, filler, sanding, filler, sanding, filler. I can tell you that that is a lot of work. 90% of the problems is the so call't Radius chine area. The rest is easy. That is a big lesson for the next time.

Spraying. I both my self a professional spraying pistol with 4 diver end nozzles, so that I can spray all kind of paint. I started with the Panser coating. I mix't it as it was standing in the manual. Butt that seems to bee a little bit to thick. The first layer look's more like a orange's. But you have to start with something is end it. After a few time it became better. I did putt 5 layers off panser coat on the hull. I did not finish it yet. One's I have finish's the rest of the boat, than I will putt the paint on the complete boat at one's. I will put some anti fouling on the bottom.
