Re: OB15 Downunder
I suspect that you are taking an interesting and 'different' approach to joining the chine panels to the bottom panels? They are not butted together, are they?

No, they don't butt up on an OB15. The sides go past the bottom panels, they are then filled level to create the reverse chine effect...

Re: OB15 Downunder
Fascinating. I never noticed that before about the OB15, until now. Certainly makes the reverse chine easier to make. Looking really nice. And clean (lines).AussieBoater wrote:No, they don't butt up on an OB15. The sides go past the bottom panels, they are then filled level to create the reverse chine effect...
Re: OB15 Downunder
Sit&fish the OB15 is Jacques little trick on the reverse chine. It's a neat little design!

Re: OB15 Downunder
spent the day filling in the reverse chine...
it was raining and cool, so I needed some heat to get things moving
now just some sanding, round off the edges and I can tape the joints and apply the glass on the outside tomorrow...

Re: OB15 Downunder
At last, the glassing is finished on the outside...
I have to say that taping the joints was easy enough and happened without incident. Laying the cloth was not so easy or enjoyable Having faired many a boat hull, I think I'd say laying the glass mat was and will be the most unenjoyable (new word) part of the build.
I had the photographer mixing for me, I only have admiration for any person who does this by themselves.
The best part??? It's done

Re: OB15 Downunder
Thank you, I found the glassing to be a very stressful job...
I've ordered fairing compound (powder) and high build primer. So the next few weeks are bound to be fun.
