Strip: YOU DID WHAT TO YOUR GUILLEMOT!? *Pic*

Heh, heh heh...

This just in from the "Nothing is Permanent" Department:

I took a jigsaw to the deck of a perfectly good Guillemot 18. Against Nick's advice (namely the plans in his book), I built my Guillemot with a 1" higher deck. It makes layback and other rolls (and balance braces) difficult.

So I decided to do the Mick Allen Double Recess to it. Which requires a chop job, as it already has a perfectly sound coaming and has been in use for over 3 years. So I fired up the saw and dropped the blade through the deck.

I then cut a larger recess to contain the bevel strips; this part will be discarded.

The plan is to use hot glue and temporary blocks to suspend the original coaming in place. Then I'll glue in the individual bevel strips, glass outside, knock out the blocks and sand inside, and glass the inside. Hoping to be done by Friday the 20th.
