Re: Leoma hull to deck joint
A couple guys spent the week with fairing compound and sandpaper then yesterday put two coats of high build primer. I think they will finish painting this week. I may have to cut back on some metal work. I need to see my bill after paint. We will see

So you are doing this in Mexico? How far down the coast? You are staying ashore I assume? Have you decided about the toe rail or bulwarks? While I would have preferred they do this with a couple layers of biaxial I am sure it's going to be great. I learned about this from Hal Roth on his Spencer 35 Whisper. I don't think he used biaxial. I also don't think it really matters they didn't remove the chainplates. They are set far enough inboard there should be plenty of cloth and epoxy or resin to strengthen the joint.
Have you or do you have plans to rebed those chainplates? I can't remember if you have tackled that project. This would be a good place to use butyl rubber.
You have put in a tremendous amount of effort to improve and refine Leoma. I think you are going to be very pleased when all this work is behind you. What's next in your plans?
