Garage Works - 9/10/2025

I skipped out on beach time today and I spent that time forwarding the two projects I have in the garage.

Dialing in the shape of No.42 was the big one.

Here's the banana board with the details all chased down.

And from the port side.

I'm still toying around with the idea of using a divynicell deck sheet to reduce some additional weight and increase the board deck skin strength.

If I work on the board tomorrow, it'll be cutting out the block slot on the bottom deck and possibly the top deck d-cell sheet.

I also worked on the mast repair Felipe asked if I could do.  I didn't take a picture, but the progress is slow and steady (to prevent any issues)

Mast Repair

I emailed Kyle and he said to use urethane adhesive to fill the cuts after cleaning the frayed material away.

And I did just that.

The repairs went pretty quickly - and I think they turned out well.

I can see and feel the repairs, but I actually like the fact that they are on the mast - just like cool scars!!!!

I'll write more about this in the next post, but I actually think the mast moves through the water better than before.  That probably just me thinking the repairs help shed any potential low pressure points by introducing just enough turbulence.... but who knows???!!!!????

I glad it's fixed!
