First layer of glass onto hull of boat.

Long day of work but bottom of hull is well glassed with 400g/m2 roving. Everywhere was sanded and then glassed.

We also went to buy new woven roving of both 200 and 400 g/m2 from Amro Chemicals at Plaine Lauzun.

We even had a little help from my uncle.

















Then we placed the fiberglass onto the bottom and epoxied it in place. We had quite a few troubles as it was our first time with such a vast amount of epoxy and large glass sheets. Hoping that next layers are going to be easier.

Just sanded.

Placing first glass sheet.

Positioning second glass sheet (note overlap in middle of hull).

Removing air bubbles with a "Squeegee"

Hard at work.
