As we approach the finish line with this boat, the work hours have lengthened to wrap up a ”little bit more” each weekend. The price for that has been the record keeping and reporting has suffered.
My apologies.
Meanwhile, here is a little teaser report to let you know we are still at it and wrapping things up.
Please stay tuned.
#H4H #HopeForHaiti
We have been back to work on the Hope For Haiti for a couple of weekends now. Last weekend consisted of a lot of sanding and prepping. We also pulled all of the temporarily mounted hardware.
This weekend the hit list was all over the place. The completed projects are listed below.
The last of the fiberglass work is done, including the rudder. (Yay! At least I hope that’s all.)
The shaft bearing is installed in the shaft tube.
The fuel fill and vent have been located, drilled out, and the holes have been coated with epoxy
All of the bolt holes drilled (so far) for all the hardware have been resin coated.
More sanding for paint work.
The gunwales have been coated with 2 more coats of paint.
The inside hull sides have been painted.
The lazarette hatch lid has been painted on the exposed surfaces.
There may be a few other odds and ends, but that covers the most of it. If you are interested in helping finish, email me to see if I have a project that can match your skill.
Stay tuned!

This makes the fourth weekend in a row that I've been able to dedicate time in the shop to work on the Hope For Haiti. After spending a couple of hours sanding and prepping I was rewarded with getting to lay on two coats of primer on the cargo lid tops.
It's amazing how much difference a little paint, or primer in this case, makes.
We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which He has prepared for us in advance to do.
