Today we finished the part of the transom that was causing us some worry and glued it well in place without any air bubbles. Then we placed a strip of 200g/m2 fiberglass onto it. Then we had a long process of sanding and vacuum cleaning everything to remove dust from every nook and cranny. Then we proceeded to add two large sheets of fiberglass onto the hull. It is still 200g/m2 fiber as we had already placed 400g/m2 fiber a few days back.
We used a bigger syringe to measure out amounts of epoxy and hardener and mum got a larger tool to mix the glue. The gluing thus went much faster, allowing us some rest during the day while waiting for the top part to dry before adding the sides.

Serenite is now fit to float and be used as a boat. She floats by herself now.
