Micro-Wherry · new build
This is the second boat I have designed and built, with the first one still floating, but leaving me wanting more in the looks and performance department
My coworker S came to help out with this step. A good thing, because I would not have finished before I wanted to go to bed otherwise. Waited 2hrs and gave it a hot coat of epoxy. Despite some last-minute relief cuts in the cloth, I think it came out quite well.
Flipped hull over, spent the morning scouting tape transitions, and the afternoon laminating interior with cloth. Reinforcement patches where my feet will go. It was harder to keep the cloth smooth and well attached, and in at least one occasion trying to “fix” an issue too late in the game made it way worse. Finished up, took a 4hr break, then put a hot coat on before bed.
Nobody else here is logging a Micro-Wherry yet. See the boat.
