The
deck was separated from the hull suspended. This
was followed by removing the mold from the hull
section and suspending this too.

This
shows a marquetry section on the over-turned hull
that has been prepared by the sanding of epoxy seal
coats.

The fiberglass cloth layers are positioned on the
hull. A neighbor, Roland Fricke, is shown here helping
Clark Eid wet out the fabric with epoxy. |
|
|
Squeegies (in yellow) are used to draw the epoxy across
the cloth. |

The
"glassing" of the hull is now finished.
Note the excess fiberglass cloth hanging from the
overturned hull. Now it's time to work on the deck. |

|
The interior of the hull is scraped fair.
