Re: Stripped NorthWind

Quick update. After sanding half the fiberglass off of the hull and replacing it during the build I thought I had the problem fixed. Turns out several more places turned loose on the original fiberglass. I have spent the last month or so sanding the hull down to wood and now have new glass installed...

New Saw Blade

I bought a Matsushita Blade from Duck Works. I think I am really going to like the 1/16 kerf, will result in less waste. This thing is razor sharp, I need to get started on my Wife's new boat so I can use it.
