16 th February

Got my slow shoes on.  Weather been crappy and late out of bed in the mornings.  One of the priviledges of getting old.

Did something though.

Pre fitted deck ply for testing fairness.  Was surprised with the stiffness without any glue or glass.  The small compound curve provides great stiffness while still being possible with a sheet of 8 mm ply.  The designer (Janusz Maderski) is either a very lucky guy and made hundreds of good guesses or he is  a smart cookie.  I am pretty sure I know which is true.  

All ply removed and coated on the underside  with epoxy and peelply in preperation for painting and fitting.

Weather very crappy here at the moment but temp in workshop nice and warm (thanks to old tractor hydraulic oil) but humidity is pretty high.

Pulled the peelply off the foredeck ply this evening in the dark just to check out the light show. Was not dissapointed.  (If you dont understand ask Mr Google.)

Been watching windguru, meteo pt and wind finder and hopefully will venture out the marina on Sunday to check if there are any fish wanting to be eaten!
