Cockpit coaming lip

As of now, the cockpit coaming has fiberglass on it and needs sanding. I still
need to put in the endpours, which is basically just a big glob of epoxy poured
down the bow and stern to strengthen it and creat a spot for grab handles. Then
once everything is sanded, I ready to varnish!!
Heres a picture of the seam between the deck and hull. After 1 more
coat of epoxy, this will be ready to sand down.


Today I started the cockpit coaming! There are 12 strips about 3/16
epoxied around the cockpit coaming. All the clamps are holding them on..

Pad eyes, Taping inside seam


Here the pad eye loop is in temporarily.
In this picture you can see the little holes that I cut for the hatch straps.
Little loops are stuck through and siliconed in.
I can't decide if I should put a bungie strap in front of the cockpit or not..
What do you think?




In the top and bottom of this picture you can kind of see the fiberglass
tape. Its clear though.


Awesome weather out, so work outside! Today I fiberglassed the inside
seam to hold the deck and hull together. Its on the side so that the 2 inch
fiberglass tape wont slide down the hull while it is drying.
