Day 37 - cockpit combing prep

Didn't get a whole lot done during Thanksgiving. Now I am back at it. The cockpit combing is made up of two pieces. The lower, thicker part - which is about 3/4" thick. Then there is a 1/8" thick piece of plywood that makes up a lip where the spray skirt will go over. I first had to fit the lower pieces on the cockpit hull, mark off where I needed to trim them to length and them cut them so they butt together nicely. I then needed to paint on a layer of fiberglass resin onto the wood.

Here's the art shot of the day. The pieces are stacked for drying, with the boat hanging from the ceiling.
