I'm using Holdfast Gorilla Grip which gives me the confidence for immersed surface laminating. Even though the hull will be fiberglassed Toroa will sit for extended periods on a mooring so I want to feel confident that the seems will hold even if they get damp from bilge water and capillary soaking through the inevitable scratches in the hull surface.
9 planks per side in place, working from the mid line up to the keel.
Ama stripped and ready for ceder strip planking from waterline up.
I've glued two stanchions in preparation for gluing into ama before planking starts.
I'm setting up the stanchions with the same spacing as on Toroa so that I can interchange amas
and connecting structures between both Takapu & Toroa hulls.
Windward side planking.
Lee side planking.
My old companion Takapu is resting against the opposite wall watching progress on Toroa.
Occasionally he whispers in my ear to tell me when I go off track, he's also a wonderful source of inspiration and memories to keep me moving towards my goal of finishing, ready to sail.
