Repairs Continue...

On Friday, Sept 4th, I returned to Seattle for the week after Labor Day. Back in Nanaimo on the 15th, the work had progressed.

The hull exterior & keel trunk were being ground down to the new layups on the inside.
This is the "T" beam rewelded in place after gyping in the front portion of timber.

The keel bolt holes have been redrilled through the multiple layers of new glass, amounting to 7/8".
I left Nanaimo on Friday, Sept 19th, to travel from Seattle to San Diego on an ocean trawler, but that is another blog.
In my absence Extreme Fiberglass Solutions will gype & glass in the new bulkhead/stringers, smooth out & gelcoat the interior. When I return to Nanaimo on Oct 1st, we should be close to returning to the marina to reintroduce Whisper to her keel.
