Applebee 27 - Our Outboard Trawler
April 12, 2023
We're Back!
The weather yesterday was beautiful. I opened the garage door and worked on the dinghy.
I dry-fit all four oarlock sockets.
I taped around each one and then removed them. I sanded the areas and applied a polysulfide bedding compound under each fitting and around the screw heads. Then I re-installed them.
Although we got a drop of rain early this morning, today was another gorgeous day!
I went to the boat to take measurements for our next big job, framing the windows on the interior. She looks great and it's good to be back!
After making a list of all the pieces we will need and all their dimensions, I sorted through the leftover mahogany bits and found what I needed.
We set up the table saw.
If things go well this afternoon, we will rip all the boards to size and wind up with a bunch of small strips of trim.
Stay Tuned!
Thanks for reading our blog!
