Longboarding for the first time

I did some longboarding with the new flexcat longboard (used sanding paper 80), I was only foam so it was not that hard work but I think with the putty it will be different. The result looked good after some longboarding and I filled the sames and some lows with putty on one side.

making the float hatch entrance

This week I did buy some hatches so I could make the entrance. I carved out the foam for HD inserts for the various pad eyes and the goiot folding cleat and put it in place with som HD putty.

 I did also some repair work on Thrill Seeker this week, I had some leake on the deck so the balsa had to be carved away and filled with glass and putty because this is a place where the lifting eye is placed.

I painted the rudder also today seen in the background on one of the above pictures.

The taping of the inside for this float is finished

Last week I did some taping of the inside so that is now finished and I put the bow panel and temporary access hole panel  in place. I made also a start with the stern panel.
I had to made the hole for the hatch I little bit smaller because the hatches I had were not strong enough so I did buy another pair on marktplaats.
We did buy also a new multi tool this time a cheap one, for the price of the old one I can buy three of these, it is still a Bosche so I can re-use the blades. I directly used it to cut the foil case, it is now flat with the hull.
