Back at the old “grind” again

We made it to Deaton’s and the Snow Goose after our short detour to NY City. The old gal needed a bit of exterior work this year so out came the grinder and the epoxy and into the Tyvec suit went Rich.



We has some rust that had to be ground off and re epoxyed this year.

 After grinding the rusty spots a generous layer of fiberglass, epoxy and filler was applied. Then lots of sanding and refairing and more sanding before we could paint the boat. Soon, she will be repaired and ready for the water. In the spring I hope to give her a total paint job.

The rudder also had to come off for the outer coating of fiberglass had split.

The new fiberglass has been applied and a fairing coat applied now, all it needs is a good sanding and paint.

We will be down here at Deaton’s for the next month or so, if you’re in the area stop on by!
