Continuing work on propane locker cutout
After sides were glassed in, I trimmed excess fiberglass and covered it with epoxy mixed with colloidal silica to smooth things out. Quick makeshift cardboard apron helped keep epoxy from dripping into the boat.
Glassed in edges for the hatch opening

Repairing cabin top cracks – again!
Redo: mast base
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).
