Dinghy Refit and Fibre Glassing 101 - Free Range Sailing Ep 52

In this episode we make the necessary upgrades to our dinghy in the process learning a lot about working with epoxy and fibre glass from our new friend David whose catamaran stole the show last week.

We’ve had a lot of questions about our experiences with the portabote dingy so stay tuned because in a few days we’ll be releasing another video discussing its pros and cons.

Polycore Foam
Q Cells (for fairing)
Cabosil (thickener for epoxy)
Cotton Flock (for glueing)
