We’re still stuck for things we can do on our own build until the tent is fixed (no word yet when that will be), but we are making great progress in the owner’s hull of fairing and priming.
So while Matt spends a day back on our boat putting a fresh coat on primer on areas, I cross the bay to help my good friend Sophie on her wooden boat from Chesapeake Light Crafts. A nice summer runabout we’ll all be able to enjoy this summer on the bay.
Ryan was off for the day handling business, but Sophie knew that between the two of us we’d be able to tackle all the things on her list for that day, including flipping the hull.
How does working on a wooden boat compare to working on a fiberglass boat? I spend the day finding out as we do longboard sanding, power sanding, and even mix up epoxy to add fillets (coves). It was a nice break away from my own work, and a fun way to experience a different kind of building.
Let us know what you think of their Rhode Runner, and let us know any questions you have for when we hopefully check back in on their progress.
We hope you enjoy!
