Starboard side of daggerboard case

I built the mold for the daggerboard case at a friend’s house earlier in the week. Turned out good, if I say so myself.

Marked all cut-lines and reference lines accordingly…. Even decided to properly color-code it in case I was half asleep while laminating.

Dry-fit the foam with HD inserts in place

And did my first vacuum bag (after a late-night run for some felt to use as breather)

I used my resin infusion epoxy for this since it had the longer pot life and was VERY thin for an easy wet-out. It produced a wonderful part, but I still prefer the cleanliness of infusion.

I did make a small error when laying an extra layer of fabric and am a bit concerned about it. We’ll see what Ian’s opinion is and if I need to worry, if I can salvage the piece, or if I need to scrap it and make another (hope not!)

Touched up a few areas on the float, and dad did most of the deck during the week. No pictures of that right now. It looks the same as the other float, only different. 🙂

Time spent: 10 hours
