Brain,
The ply was scarfed and nicely done. The blend line,was smooth and hard to see unless you went looking for it. Yes, I didn't know I had a problem with rot in the inner keel until I pulled the engine for flipping the hull. I did suspect it since the ply at the keel rabbit at the engine showed some signs. The keels were White Oak and I've seen one that was Ash. |

[/QUOTE] Brian,
The ply used for the hull are scarfed from 8' sheets. To do this properly, the face veneer needs to be about 1/8" thick to allow for sanding the joint to blend for the bright finish. Besides the delam on my X, the inner keel was also full of rot.[/QUOTE] Scarfed. I thought you were using 'slang' for "harvested", or "scavenged". I've since learned that it is a wood-joining technique. Fascinating stuff. Thanks Pete. |
