1963 Alcort Sunfish CHIP 15 Jan 19 Frame Patterns

15 Jan 19:

We took measurements of the frames a while back, today we thought we'd try out making a tape pattern of one of the frames with blue tape.


Worked pretty good, now we can trace it onto some plywood for a restoration pattern. We'll use that top, center cleat notch to orient the pattern when we flip it to trace the mirror side. The plywood is not marine grade, the Skipper picked out some nice, pre-sanded 2x4 pieces at Lowes. We like the smooth feel of this type plywood for patterns, it cuts nice and the edges sand well.


Holler at us if Frame 2 on your wooden Sunfish needs to be replaced :)
