Been a while

Not a lot of progress for over a few months with starting a new job and most weekends disappearing at the yacht club and catching up with jobs around the house. But this weekend past allowed a fair bit of time to get the first half of the hull with all damaged strips replaced and sanded back. Now to get the sanding board out and fair off and get ready to apply a sealer coat of epoxy.
The lighter strips are a little too light but hopefully with a little exposure to the sun they will mellow back.
This side was has only has 8 strips replaced. The other side needs twice that many as well as some large hole patched as well. Will need to increase the pace as hopefully the yacht club will be starting a building project over winter. Looks like up to 5 off us are keen to build Jollyboats or J14s as they have been renamed.
