Biscuit Updates

Grabbing a couple hours on Thursday, I made my way to the shop and Biscuit for a first sanding and a second skim coat...

With the fiberglass patches installed as well as the new solid fiberglass core for the deck plate - which the removable motor mount attaches to - I turned to the fairing work...

With the old thru-hulls and seacocks removed, I planned to use the weekend work sessions to patch the hull...

I dipped below the water line to begin work on updating the thru-hull and (much needed) seacocks...

A quick visit in the later afternoon to continue fairing in the repair to the coachroof...

A quick stop by the shop to continue the progress on Biscuit - this time a skim coat on the coachroof repair....

With the shop's new roof completed, I was excited to get back on Biscuit and continue the work in prep for primer...

Getting back from vacation, and after addressing a few of the endless tasks required to get the shop up and running, I managed to get back on Biscuit with what seemed like the appropriate next step: sanding and fairing!

Continuation of filling the old toe and rub rail fastener holes....this session focuses on the port side of Biscuit...

As it was decided to fabricate new brightwork (rail, coaming boards, etc.), I took the opportunity on late Monday afternoon to countersink and epoxy fill the original fastener holes on the starboard side of Biscuit...

Continuation of the removal of the toe rails and rub rails- Port side edition...

Finding a block of time over the Memorial Day weekend, around visiting company, I managed to remove the starboard rails...
