Dynel on deck

As promised, here are a couple of photos of the decks covered in Dynel (glued on with epoxy):

I'm gluing on the Dynel in four pieces, here I'm cutting out the port-side deck piece.  

All the pieces on the boat...but not trimmed as yet.

Corner before trimming...

Corner after trimming, hey that looks better.  The Dynel cloth--which is soft and bends easily--wraps around the the edge of the 1/4" ply deck.

The completed job.

Forward view.  Note that the rubrails will cover the screw holes along the top of the sheerstrake.  With the toerail to go on soon, I'll finally be able to trim down that stem, which I've left rough-cut for months.  That'll be a good day...

With the deck completed, hurrah, it's on to rubrails.  More on that later.  Plus I'm thinking of adding a little trim piece to the bottom of the sheerstrake.  No structural function, just for looks.  Plus there will be a small toerail on the foredeck.  Once that's done, the exterior hull will be complete, with interior work like seats, floorboards, etc. to go.  Plus gobs of finish work--and spars--of course!  So, until next time, it's goodnight from him.
