The project for Saturday was building the new (and expanded centerboard trunk cabinet.  Here I am tracing the general dimensions of the old board.  Of course the new trunk has to be 4 inches higher to accommodate the elevated turning block and multipart seal.  Another kink is that I could not find a 3/8 inch piece of plywood full 4x8 so this 60 inch piece is 2 inches short.  I will lap a splice in that will look as if it belongs there.

Here I am finishing the cabinet. It is framed on 3/4 inch square blocks.  The nail gun came in handy.

Here.s the finished project.  Shims are still drying inside the cabin.

  The masts have many wear spots and stress cracks.  Epoxy fairing compound will dry overnight and be sanded tomorrow.  Karen spent long hours sanding the "sticks" today making this progress possible.

Masts all patched and waiting to sand tomorrow.
