Finally a bit of paint. The floats are painted with Jotun Imperite (Homebush yellow). Non-skid is Kiwigrip. This paint was easy to use and clean up (water based).
The trampolines for the Scarab 16 are the same as the Scarab 3m only bigger. They will be laced to two tubes attached to the beams so when the boat folds the tramps stay attached to the beams to avoid the need to re-tension them. One completed - one more to go. These tiny trampolines are for the Scarab 3m. They will be laced onto two tubes mounted between the beams. Just finished sewing the mainsail for the Scarab 3 metre. Sail is fully battened with a pocket for the mast. I wanted an open transome but needed a way to attach the rudder fitting. Made a beam from foam and glass to support the rudder pintle. Side deck and coaming added and taped. The deck was scored through the top layer of foam to allow it to bend. Then filled with bog and glassed again. I masked and primed underneath the deck because it would be difficult to paint later. It's been a long time since I have anything interesting to write about. I have been stuck working on a boat I haven't been enthusiastic about. But now I can get back to working on the Scarab 16. |
