1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
Made a small cut-out in the bracket connecting port-side bulkhead and beam. Will need to powder coat it in the TheShop to make it look good again.
Started work on brackets that will secure holding tank cover.
Made new backing strips for jib tracks and added padding to the starboard-side backing plate for the winch.
After the dry fit, realized that I had to grind off internal repairs and make several oversize backing plates before finalizing pulpit install. Besides a minor crack in the fiberglass at the stern, things went smoothly.
Was ready to make test backing plates for Marelon seacocks this morning. Spent several hours trying to make CNC ShopBot Alpha at SF TechShop cooperate with my tool paths from Fusion360. No luck so far – will have to troubleshoot some other day.
