It may be difficult to tell by these photos, but this piece had just as many, if not more, cracks in the gelcoat than the entire boat! What a pain. More sanding on some high spots to do still.
Also, a small change to the original design. Added csm and cloth build up on the insides of the frame. This will serve two purposes: 1) strength overall and reduce surface cracking from the weight of the hardtop and 2) it will have a finished look on the inside versus the roving look. It is fact the factory did finish work like this on atleast one other Skagit, the Saratogan hull #3. Hull #2 has the roving look.
Better pics when I'm finished.
