Took most of the extra material from the second half of the top. Epoxy had cured as it should. Next weekend I will finish the shaping and after that there is the sanding of the whole 14,5 m mast. How long will it take?
Hopefully the mast can stay were it is now so I could work on it even during Christmas.
Slowly it starts to look like mast again…
The other part of the new mast top is now glued. Outside was REALLY dark. Luckily the mast is inside. I made the scarf joint yesterday and did the final fitting today. – twice since the first fit did not satisfy me after all. I might have time to do the shaping on sunday after which the mast should look like whole once again.
After that there remains some heavy sanding on the mast and impregnation before varnish. Let’s see which year we are in when those happen.
Started to look around for a new engine, wonder if I find one.
