The journey to a Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC) PocketShip – a pocket cruiser sailboat
10/2/21 – Keel gets lead today!
Today is the keel pour for the PocketShip and explain and show how I went about fixing my mistake from yesterday.
First thing this morning after coffee was the fix with a mix.
Fix the first mistake of the build
We’re going to cast lead! Quick move everything outside
Back into the shop
The keel was brought into the shop and put up on two sawhorses to continue work.
After that, the one thing left to finish out ‘Chapter 1’ is to cast some epoxy to reinforce the edges of the centerboard and then foil. It was a busy day and a productive one. No injuries and only one pot lost to the pressure of the pour.
