Today's Progress Report

A busy day today. Finished the swallowtail. Cut out the cockpit in the deck. Put the glass reinforcement around the coaming on the inside of the deck. Planed down the gunwales to accept the deck. And (just for grins) put the hull in the truck and it would appear that I'll be able to carry FOUR boats! Three on the rack and Moon Sprite in the bed. She doesn't extend much further out the back than Free Spirit does.

Progress Continued

Today's accomplishments: the inside of the hull is glassed, and the coaming is glued to the deck.

The Work Continues

This morning, I sanded out the body, getting it ready for glassing. I also out the rim on the coaming. Once it dries, I'll cut the coaming out.
Yep, I think I'll have her ready on time.












I also decided I'd post a couple from my morning paddle today.

Update on Progress










I was reminded last weekend that some folks actually follow this blog (thanks, Jeremy!). So here's where I stand with Moon Sprite. I've got the sides glued to the bottom and the inside sanded. Need to glass the inside. Then make the coaming. I'm going to try to get all that done this weekend. It'll be too blamed hot to do much of anything else.

Progress on Moon Sprite

OK so today, I ripped a 1X10 and got a couple of 12' strips. These were attached to the sides.
