: Reg, looking very good,,so what's the glassing schedule in mind?

Hi Lee,
I am not sure I can get it all glassed before going to Chile, so my game plan is to finish the cockpit then sand it fair before leaving. I will do all the glassing when I return. That way I will get a better bond and not worry about distortion, condensation, etc.. (Amazing what one can learn by lurking on this board.)
I will be doing the original Redfish coaming recess pattern and not the rollers recess or day hatch that Joe designed into the King. I will be doing a bulkhead hatch only in the stern. I have dropped the bow rise by over a 1/4 of an inch, or more accurately the stem form pulled up from the tension of the first few strips before I realized it. After evaluating the situation I decided to go with the the longer water line at the expense of some turning. I had already added a strip to each stem to put more of a fair curve into the bow and stern and this also added to the waterline and overall length. It has been fun tweaking things and hopefully these changes will not diminish performance.
Gee I'm rambling on. You only asked about the glassing schedule.

Keep the smooth side down and miss the rocks........Reg
