Wooden Boat Building Ep. 16: Installing the Skeg

[@daleskidmore1685]

Hi Cap'n, nice to see you again. Good job on the skeg. I like how you did the scribing in, good old ratchet straps, 101 uses, lol. Well spotted on the glass on the corner of the transom too.

What do you think caused the glassing issues there starting at 1:26?

[@serdarbas8016]

corner radius was too tight. Fibercloth can't turn sharp corners.

It delaminated because you did not add a coat of resin under the fiberglass sheet

[@wulkie]

Well yes, plus i had a very sharp 90° angle

[@carlosribeiro8854]

I think in start the building. Do you make the sails?

[@wulkie]

I am not sure yet. most probably i will try to source them out to win some time. there is this saying: build your first sails second!

[@carlosribeiro8854]

lol... sails is a biggest challenger for me. I building a sailboats by my hobby radiocontrol. We have muny data to struture, but infomations in sails in RC plans is little. In real plans different?

[@carlosribeiro8854]
