20th September

Seemed to spend a long time in the workshop but didnt accomplish much.

First in the morning I epoxied a piece of 12mm hard plywood as a support for the bottom pintle.  Once it was set glassed it in with 5 layers of 200g cloth each side with overlaps in the middle.  The plan is to use angled stainless steel backing plates for the pintle that is also bolted through the support.

Spent time hand sanding fillets in the bow section while waiting for epoxy to go off.  Not a fun project.

Also pre epoxy coated cockpit stringers and supports so less work in cramped spaces once fitted.
