Toe Rail

The toe rail is made of teak profile

 



First I built a drilling template with bores positioned in such a way that at no position a hole meets a bulkhead under deck.



Each toe rail I fastened by four 4 mm x 35 mm woodscrews from inside. To bend the toe rails bores above the deck-bores I used a tension belt.

Rudder Gudgeon

For a long time I was looking for suitable Gudgeons - unsuccessful. Now my patience was at an end. I took a piece of aluminum and built them myself within fife hours.

Portlights Mounted

I decided for Lewmar stainless steel portlights of size 1 (191 mm x 367 mm). Both aft portlights are of fixed, the fore portlights of opening type.

Stanchions and Wires Mounted

Berth Covers Finished

Primering Completed

The underwater ship has been coated with 4 layers EPIFANES EPOXY HB COAT now and would be ready for sliding into water - almost.

 

Primering the Hull

Unfortunately I didn`t bought enough primer.
The total hull requires 3 times 0,75 liter EPIFANES EPOXY HB COAT per layer. The underwater hull requires 1 1/3 cans 0,75 liter EPOXY HB COAT per layer.

Remaining unevenness of the surface became visible after priming. I had feared. That is, after priming, I must fill another time.
