Fixing a hole...

Procrastination is my forte, but I finally ran out of reasons to delay the installation of the centerboard trunk. I'm not quite sure why I kept putting it off, something about cutting a large hole in the hull. Actually, the process is quite simple, make a hole the right size, in the right place, and drop the trunk in with some epoxy. I roughed out the hole with the jigsaw and cleaned it up with a flush trim bit. 



Clamp it Jed!




I see no reason to use glass or epoxy on the outside of the trunk, varnish should be enough.



One more small step forward...
