More Mothress

Probably not worth a picture but this weekend has been a fruitful one for the Moth. My wife Brie and I vacuum bagged the two center joints of the fwd rack assembly and today I bonded on the five cleat bases for the controls to the mast stump. Tomorrow I'll wrap those bases in carbon and then clear coat the fwd rack assembly throughout the week. Yesterday I wrapped the aft edge of the foredeck in carbon, tabbed the fwd bulkhead to the deck, covered some core on the foredeck/hull joint and made a repair under the mast step area. Today I did a little more work on the foredeck and hull. Hopefully a solid week this coming week of work will allow me to get to hull fairing next weekend and priming the weekend after that.

On another note, I talked to Kinder Industries on Friday and Phil is working on my custom trampolines. I can't wait to see those and get into rigging day!

Getting closer


It's raining outside so the skiing isn't great and it's a great reason to chip away at some of the work needed to get sailing in a month. These are the two outer wing bar joints getting vacuum bagged with the project manager cat sleeping nearby. Mostly she keeps an eye on the heater to make sure it's still working.

Kicked to the curb



Had to move the Moth out of the house for a few weeks of visitors needing the guest room downstairs. Not a problem as the boat is in a good place to move out to the garage and I'll still bring pieces indoors for work. Nice to see the boat in the dolly with the racks situated in place.
