2nd June

Did a damage to my right knee cartilage so going in slow mode at the moment.

Name on both sides and going to collect "eyes" tomorrow,

My "Snickers Bar" looks like a boat according to my registration agent (I love his description) so we can proceed!

Been hiding from lightning and huge rain showers the last few days but been fiddling with trimtab and rudder.

Trimtab epoxied then glassed. Once the  epoxy was hard enough - sanded and filled - awaiting a finish sand and epoxy primer paint.  I over drilled all the pintle holes in the rudder and filled them with epoxy for redrilling to prevent any possibility of water ingress into the plywood core once everything is bolted together.

Epoxied in hand hold next to galley and finalized cooker gimbal mounting system.  It will be easily removable for cooking outside when not sailing but fully gimballed and secure while at sea.  Running out of jobs to do!!  One left is an entrance step that will double as a cockpit "table" / fish cleaning platform.

Mast and boom finished and just got to pay the bill on Monday so it can be shipped.  Took a long time before they started on my order but once started got lots of communication and photos of progress for my approval.

Thinking electrics at the moment.  Going for 2x 25w solar panels (ordered).  Only 50w allowed maximum on board.  If I had 1 panel of 50w and it got damaged I would have nothing so going with 2 panels and hopefully at the worst only one goes bust and still have a bit of power.
