Grumman 17 SCOUT 18 Apr 20 Morning Coffee and Fiberglass

18 Apr 20:

SCOUT took us out for morning coffee and oranges, saw a few pelicans. Light winds from NE, tide coming in, river flowing out, 72F.


Skipper's duct tape cup holder works great.


Stanley thermos just for fun...


...just like the NC-4 crew used!


Beach Inspector.


Inner layer of rudder adapter is cured.


Wetting out the outer layers of 4 oz fiberglass cloth tape for the rudder adapter with TotalBoat THIXO. Worked the THIXO into the weave with part of a paint stir stick.


Stainless Ronstan gudgeons encased in fiberglass cloth. Rudder and pintle attached to get the correct alignment with the gudgeons.


Gudgeon shimmed with small pieces of wood where stern cap tapers.


Log of SCOUT.
