Finishing The Centre Board

In between other tasks I found time to complete the centreboard. It had been sitting in a corner of the workshop while the third and final coat of epoxy cured nice and hard.

Here it is being sanded.

I sanded both sides to a P220 grit finish.

The surface is now as smooth as glass. I have put it in the house, out of harm's way until required for installation.

This is the final activity in Chapter 1: Keel Assembly, so we can now say we have completed a whole chapter of the build manual!
