SCAMP #434 Build - July Progress Report

Steady progress with decks and veranda considering the 30 degrees plus temperatures and spending two weeks away in the West Kootaneys.

With all major parts now installed it really feels like I have turned a corner.  Lots of sanding, fairing and painting to come!

Some pics...


4.5" holesaw purchased specifically to cut holes for ports - my jig sawing is wanting

Veranda sides sealed

Deck installed

Flush trimming the decks

Glassing the decks

Lazarette done and hatches dry fit

Dry fit veranda sides

Fore,aft and port doublers

Port coamings installed with epoxy and screws

Needed to add a little height to the 6 mm veranda sides

Packing tape coated cleat with pre-drilled screws very 2" to hold down roof for epoxying

Clamping fore and aft doublers and filling screw holes with toothpicks

Kind of  'Mad Max' looking

Messy at times

Beveled side decks so aft deck mounts flush

With mock up rub rail

Buffer with sanding disc to bevel aft deck doubler

Doubler installed
Fuzzy pic of rying on the veranda for size - note the veranda curve matching bow curve

Results of six months (with interruptions) building fun!
