might be the case. See if it wipes of with a little bit of vinegar or acetone and little elbow grease.

I see you were paddling north. Just keep paddling. It will warm up the further you go. It was 91 F up here when I sanded and epoxied yesterday.

Bemm,

"Marriage is like a build, sometimes it takes a couple of go's to get it right" :lol:

Looks as if you're on track I wouldn't change a thing mate, :wink: build looks great and the cheese and kisses is happy what more could a man wan't. Can't wait to get out and have a paddle with you guys.

I was looking back at your previous build on the Sabolo, I liked the way you knocked up those frogs eyes for the cable rudder to run through the deck. Any chance you could spin a couple up for the Dodger would be ideal solution to add on to the Okwata :?:

Can't wait to see how this performs - it looks like it will be very fast.

Just a word of caution Bemm - be careful when discussing "beam" and "the bride" in the same post - them's dangerous waters :lol: :lol:
Cheers, Bob
