The Didi 40 Cr hull glassed and sanded with some fairing in progress
A front view of the Didi 40 Cr hull glassed and sanded.
We have been away in Canada and the USA for sailing in the World Laser Masters regatta with two fellow crew from Passion. We enjoyed the sailing and the wives enjoyed the touring so it was win win. Prior to departure we had some very wet weather and as soon as the Sun came out I caught a winter bug so in all I have had a six week break from boat building and need to make up some time. We landed back in Sydney on Saturday morning after a long flight from New York but by the afternoon I was back sanding down the fibreglass on the hull. I can recommend working in the Sun as a good cure for jet lag. After two more half days of sanding I have spent the afternoon with my long fairing battens checking for any hollows and am happy with the finish. There is still some glass weave to fill before the painting starts but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
