CATAMARAN BUILD - Changing Our Daggerboard Placement (MJ Sailing - Ep 243)

As temperatures inch toward triple digits, we put down our tools and head for the water.

It’s also a good thing we have a new set of paddle boards (thanks to our friends at Vetus!!) where we can ditch out on afternoon work and head to the Chesapeake Bay for a little fun on the water.

In this week’s episode of work though, I do get around to applying fairing compound to the bulkheads inside the forward berth, and finally squeeze myself back into the cabinet I’ve been dreading to take on its overhead.

With bigger news, the daggerboard cases we worked so hard on are finally ready to go in!! After talking to the builder and designer while in Vietnam, we made slight changes from their layout, so we can push it further out on deck and give ourselves more walking space there. This means lots of extra measurements on our part though, and hoping we got it right!

Stay tuned as Matt cuts a big hole in the top of our deck, and we see if we can get the case in its proper place.

Enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
