Breaking the rules of posting a post without pictures, but not only that. I was down at the build today. One of our gunwale stringers has snapped during pre-bending. Again, at the knot. The hunt is on for knot free wood. The slightly ripped bulkhead is now very solid, with two additional layers of plywood at the weak spot, a roughly 4 cm laminate. We will do some CAD analysis and design the forward bulkhead based on the results. I now own a white X-Files style white “bio suit”, which is basically an overall for keeping away nasty fine glass-epoxy dust. I was sanding away with a Dremel at a sloppy glassed fillet, feeling irritation on my arms. Later it felt like I had sanded my arms instead. Hence the upgraded protection for future work.
