Centerboard Finishing

After trimming the fiberglass and repeating the fiberglassing process on the other side I filled the weave and then sanded.  Then I filled some small spots and went back over the whole board again.  Finally as per the manual I finished up with 400 grit sandpaper.  Made for a very nice smooth finish.  Sorry no new pics of that stuff.

I then returned my attention to the keel.  I fabricated the rear keel cap and glued it in place.  The real tough part of this whole process was getting the heavy keel up onto my shop table where I could more easily work with it.


Again lots of clamps and glue.
