Productive Weekend at Home

I did not go to the boat yard this weekend.  I stayed home and used the “King Starboard” I bought at Kendore Boat Supply to fabricate new panels to replace the delaminated plywood ones that are on the cabin wall just inside the companionway.

I also installed the new mast light I bought at Kendore onto the new mast mounting bracket I fabricate at work.  I also install a new wind vane (I bought this at the local store since Kendore didn’t carry them) on the mast mounting bracket.

I used a 2 part wood epoxy to do the repairs to the newly sanded cockpit seat backs.  There was a split in one of the seatbacks and a couple rot areas on both.  I then applied “teak oil”.  They need to dry for at least 72 hours before varnishing.
