Well, just a few minutes work today. I used a 1.5" brush to apply a first layer of epoxy resin to the interior of the starboard side.
I need some timber for the gunnels.
Just read the latest post at Yrvind.com where Sven describes his early sailing exploits, think age twenty something on a small boat made in his mother's basement, around Cape Horn! He really is an amazing guy, and I do wish he wrote books in English.
His boat Bris was shoal draft and after landing on Newfoundland or Canada, customs there impounded his vessel because they just thought it was too s fort, shoal draft etc. They made the mistake of saying they had rough seas for such a small ship, to which Sven cheekily answered that they were not as big as those he found on the vicinity of Cape Horn. Authoritarian types do not like this behaviour, but Sven knew that, he just didn't bother. So he was grounded and a watch put over his vessel. He loaded it into the back of a U Haul truck and hit the US border. Wouldn't you like to read a book about this stuff?
