Daggerboard Trunk

I have decided that I'm going to install my daggerboard trunk while the hull is still upside down. That way when I cut the fiberglass over the daggerboard slot, I can use it to help seal the trunk. If I'm going to do that, I need to do it before I get too many planks on and it's too hard to reach. So now is the time.

I had already made the sides to the trunk. Today I cut and glued the spacers to one side. I used some of the left over Douglas Fir. I'm kinda running out of that stuff. Tomorrow I hope to glue the other side to it. 


Before cutting out the spacers, I double checked all of the internal dimensions using the daggerboard itself. I think I've got it right. Again, fingers crossed!
