1965 Alcort Sunfish WAVE 20 Dec 20 Divot Fairing

 20 Dec 20:

We love mixing TotalFair, reminds me of kindergarten fun


Use separate sticks to scoop out equal parts of Resin part A and hardener Part B, the a 3rd stick to mix.


We applied TotalFair sparingly to some divots in the repair seam. The epoxy based compound can harden enough for sanding when temp is in the 70s, today it was cooler so we ran out of time before I had to go conquer the skies. Ready to go for next opportunity.


These DeWalt Concealer goggles are great, they fit snug with a soft rubber seal and are big enough to wear cheaters. They don't fog up and they keep dust intrusion to a minimum.


Great gear tip that we read about in Small Boats Magazine.


The 1981 AMF Sunfish SALLY provided a lot of hull bits for WAVE  and we have a pile of extra bits that will get to mess about on other boats. 


We saved some chine and flange sections fro SALLY, those are hard to build from scratch and are very important parts of the Sunfish design. And a bow handle backer block, not sure yet what we'll do with that.


Thank you SALLY, we are excited about sailing with your spirit onboard your sister ship WAVE.
