Glassing the hull

Here you see Tauno sanding the edge of the first two sections of glass. We are first placing a sction of 2 ounce chopped strand glass on the hull and then place 12.5 ounce roving as the final layer. We are first wetting the boat with resin, then laying the dry fabric on the boat. We start at the top, one person holding and one rolling and pressing the fabric as we move down the section to the keel. At this point, the epoxy is not very tacky and only air pressure is holding the cloth to the vertical/slightly inverted surface. We've discovered that it helps when the person holding uses a board the width of the glass to hold the fabric against the hull as the roller re-wets the fabric as both move toward the keel.
