Little Bites

 

Checking the Plans

 With the weather being decent some little bites have been taken out of the boats. On the Bobcat side of things we rolled her out into the first sun she's seen this year and sanded down some lumps. The transom was cleaned up and the centerboard slot cut out. The next major step will be the making and the installation of the skeg. Then it will be fairing the hull and adding a layer of graphite to the bottom. Flathead is nothing but rocks on the beach you see. The mast is being created by the same people who did my boom for Kat Boat and it should be completed this week we hope.

 Kat Boat has been lightly washed and a few odds and ends taken care of. A little bit each day means less to do once it's full stem ahead. Plans now stand for a launch and Dayton Run over Memorial Day weekend with as stay at Skeeko. Weather dependent of course.
