27 Dec 25:
Started off sanding a bench with 120 grit pads, DeWALT 20V random orbital sander with a ShopVac/Dust Deputy dust management system to keep the sawdust contained. Varnish next, might have to varnish inside for warmer temps.
Next we put the thwarts and floors back in the Bahamas Dinghy in prep for a Float Test. Skipper also decreed that I throw the oars in too, so her definition of a Float Test differs from mine.
We still need to cut a new outer gunwale. Our plan is to sand the inner gunwale to wood (again) and stain/varnish the breasthook, inner gunwales and quarter knees to match, along with tiller and rudder.
The oars are made by Shaw & Tenney are very nice, fortunately we got a good deal on them on Facebook Marketplace and they seem to be the right size.
