While the wheelhouse is removed from the superstructure of the boat it gives the team time to do the gelcoat repairs needed to be done on the wheelhouse at a safe work level.
Especially this complex stargaze on the wheelhouse roof which needed careful work doing on it.
There were a number of different gelcoat repairs to be done in different places around the roof and the sides of the wheelhouse
Some of the gelcoat repairs are going to be easier to do than others given the position of the repairs and the thickness of the gelcoat in these areas
The edges are always the places that get damaged easily as these places are thin and very flexible
The corners are another place that as a problem is caused by being flexible
Another area that gets often the need to be repaired is where fittings have been changed over the years as the canopy gets renewed and new fittings are moved leaving old fixing holes.
