Daily update - cockpit preparations continued

 The work is progressing slowly, but steadily. I finished preparing the cockpit sides, final screws (5x30mm) are in and set in epoxy, limber holes are cut and glassed (I really like glassing exposed end grain for some reason, makes me feel warm and safe ;) ):

I'm varnishing the inside of the hull where it will be closed off by the cockpit:

I have 2-3 coats aft, only 1 coat so far forward of the bulkhead. I will glass the bottom of the "engine compartment" below the companionway as it will be used to store equipment (like tools or an anchor) and so it's going to be in extensive and careless use so something has to protect the bottom plywood.

I did run out of clear epoxy primer though (I'm using sealine 1:4 wood primer). No idea when the new batch will arrive, until then I'll switch to other things.

tot dan.
