Curisoity....

Well curiosity got the better of some of our sailing friends and we have had visitors this week who have come to view progress, offer helpful advice and in one case wield a moisture meter. Why's that ? you ask. We were are at the stage where the lovely cedar strip hull gets covered with fibreglass, yes I know... but that's the way it is with a Golant Gaffer. The moisture meter was very helpful and determined that whilst the cedar strip is lovely and dry, the iroko deadwood is holding a bit too much moisture so discussions with a well known yacht surveyor resulted in a plan to sheath the hull upto the deadwood, turn the hull and sheath the keel and deadwood when the iroko has dried out a bit.... well that's the plan anyway.  Oh yes and the transom has had a sealing cote of epoxy. I will add a picture when I have taken one.....
