Here are a few pics since our last post. The doors leading down into the engine room have been reinstalled. Faired in the back ledge on both lids and started slinging bilge paint in the lazarette. Hoping to finish primer work by next weekend. Praying for warmer temps.

On Wednesday afternoon I set the ledge for the lids. Yesterday morning I faired in the edges of the ledge. Temps hit almost 70 by noon and I decided to roll on some primer. Going to sand the fairing around the ledge today sometime and back to priming on Saturday.

Project update: We have had an unseasonably cold winter here in OC which has limited the days where we could lay glass and begin the fairing process. Well between yesterday afternoon and this morning I got it covered with fairing material. I laid it on super thick to protect the edges and going to let it cure until midweek then the sanding process will begin. Once it’s faired out we need to epoxy in the ledge for the hatches to attach to and mount the engine room swing door. Hoping to get it primed and painted by April 1st.
