| Lots have been happening since the last post - in the last 3 weeks I've been spending most nights and a couple of weekends to get it to this stage. This is the hull after I've put glass tape along the chines, coated everything in epoxy three times, scraped back the edges of the tape, sanded the edges as well, and then 2 more coats of epoxy - mainly along the chines where I was sanding. |

| I'll be painting the bottom off white and the sides will be clear. |

| Some old repairs that had been done to the Heron, they're pretty good too, one was where the self bailer used to be. |
Hi Greg,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to give you some words of encouragement.
Your restoration looks great. Well done.
I've just finished restoring a Jack Holt Vagabond (very similar to a Heron) and I know how much longer it takes than you think.
Hi, thanks for the comment, I've been very slack lately - the heron is now finished, just have to tart up the trailer, then when it get a bit warmer I'll go for a sail. I'll take some pics this weekend and put them up! Have you taken you vagabond out yet? Which city are you in?
