winter maintenance on a wooden dinghy

The two previous posts outline the saga of the wet rot on part of the coaming and the subsequent repairs i have had to do. 

Today it was sanding and tidying up the plywood patch and giving it another twenty four hours curing time. Tomorrow, the first of the undercoats and pre-kotes will go on. There need to be around 10 coats of paint to build it back up to the paint layers either side. 

Off come the clamps and protective tape strips 

Everything seems to have held and cured correctly despite it only being 10C or so 

Might actually be able to get away without having to do any fairing compound stuff!
