First Cut on Marine Ply!

Milestone today. I cut my first piece of marine ply. I cut out my daggerboard trunk out of a piece of the 3/8" meranti. You don't want to make a mistake on that stuff!



Here are the two sides to the trunk after wetting out some fiberglass on each one.


I also glued up the doublers on the midship frame and put another coat of epoxy on one side of the daggerboard after sanding it smooth.
