Busy Thursday morning with getting jobs done ready for the Christmas break

Now that the Little Mai moulds in the workshop, it as been cleared up and re-waxed with mould release wax. It as just had one coat of release wax today, however, it has to have two more coats of release wax before it gets a coat of  PVA release solution. Once this is done then the team can lay up the first of the coats of gelcoat which going to have two coats and then get the hull laid up with it layers of 600 g CSM to build the hull up to the correct thickness for its use as a yacht or motorboat tender when it is fitted out.

The Morgan Giles 30 is coming along with the second bulkhead on the port side getting glassed in with a 3.6 kg layup to to the hull and deck this heavy lay up. This heavy layup as been the same as with all the structural bulkheads throughout the yacht is requested by the owner.  So once these are glassed in the rest of the rebuilding can get underway with fitting of hatch and filling in more holes such as the fore cabin windows which were a source of a leak and which the owner wish to get rid of and are surplus to the boats future needs, once these jobs are done the rest of the fitting out of the interior can start.

Other jobs which have been done as been the sorting out the workshop and other jobs that were put to one side can be done and got out of the way to make more room in the workshop and organise the yard at the same time.
