Fitting of beams in fore deck coming along.

















Finally!   When I get some more epoxy the barb fittings will be bonded into each bearing block and the assembly finished.  Lets try 3M 4200 for that as West 105 and nylon will not bond.  As time allows the rudder stock and tiller attachment will get built but now to continue the deck and cockpit.

Made a trip to Kona and hit all the marine stores for ply, glue, etc.  Starting 6th container of 105 and 7th standing by, hopefully that will close the deal.

















The seals did not work very well at either bearing and epoxy dripped out until it began to gel.  Added more barrier coating in aft sections.
