Deck plug: ready to mold

After many passes of fairing and sanding the deck plug is ready to mold.
This process was about 10 times faster than the hull plug.  The two reasons for this are the hull is a bit more complicated and secondly, the clock is ticking.  Summer is almost here.  We have got to get this thing done.

The photo shows the plug waxed and coated in PVA.  In the morning, we will spray on the gelcoat and in the evening we will start adding glass to build up the mold.

We expect to start building boards next week.


This photo shows the deck plug on top of the hull mold.  You can get an idea of the board's profile from this angle.
It has a slight rocker and a piercing bow.  It will make a great touring board.
