time for the daggerboard trunk.
i started by being sure i was centered. this wasnt as easy as it sounds, but after a lot of measuring i was pretty close.
i had already assembled the trunk.
i trimmed up the edges and coated with resin.
next came the first of many uncomfortable steps..... drilling holes in the bottom of my boat.
i centered them up and started at the ends of the slot.
owen helped!
'cheese'
next jennifer came and helped me flip it so i could cut the slot with my router
the router was hard to keep straight but does pretty work. i used a 3/4 inch bit.
i sanded the interior edge by hand and used a rounding bit to round off the bottom edges.
you can see here the slot is not perfect but close.
after some hand sanding she cleaned up nicely
next i flipped her back over and wet the trunk with resin, then screwed her in and put down some fillets
i was pretty happy with the result
