Starting to Look Like a Blobster
I crawled beneath the boat, drilled holes, and wired the bottom panel and bilge panels to the bulkheads. Hard work for an old dude like me. I found muscles I had forgotten existed. The posts of all the builders on the Michalak Blobster Sailboat facebook site have been very helpful. I've borrowed ideas from all of them, but I am in awe of their skills. Jim Michalak's plans for the Blobster are really well done, and all the measurements are spot on.
Next Steps:
I will apply thickened epoxy to the joints on the bottom and bilge panels. That will prepare the joints to receive fiberglass tape.
Well done. It looks like your panels meet pretty flush. I had some gaps in mine that I had to work hard to get right.
ReplyDeleteThanks. There are some places I will have to do a lot of filling too.
