Redo: bow rail holes repair

One of the most painful redos of the project thus far. After removing the bow track, painters plugged holes with some filler. They did such a shitty job that the holes were leaking and paint started cracking. As a quick patch, N put a strip of duct tape to cover them and we left it there for a few weeks. HUGE mistake! Getting that duct tape off took hours. After we were done, we drilled out all the holes, countersunk them from both inside and outside, and filled them properly with epoxy. Solid repair now (albeit requires more paint touch up).

Dry-fitting mast base

Fitted mast base, drilled holes, and tapped them to be able to bolt it down.  One interesting find from this is that the white center line on the boat is about 1/2″ off center.  Crap. Guess, we’ll just live with that.   The organizer plate looks great!
