No Glassing Today

John Mackie is adding bilge Keels/roll chocks to John William 37VT68. He reports the glassing project is on hold due to 45 degrees and rain.

Adding Bilge Keels to John William 37VT68


Starboard side ready for glassing in place. Port side cut and ready for glass. Will be transferring layout shortly. Worst part was grinding off bottom paint and barrier coat. Hope to be complete by next weekend .

Big job for one person but I will manage. It took me 4 days to get this far.
