Skegs

 Installing the Skegs

Today I added thickened epoxy around the edges of the fiberglass cloth which was installed on the bottom yesterday. I also cut the skegs and installed them.


If you look carefully you can see the epoxy fillets along the base of the skegs.

Next step

Tomorrow I will sand the filler around the edges of the fiberglass cloth. I will also install fiberglass around the skegs and wet it out.
