This is the END!! Of Sanding Season. (MJ Sailing - Episode 368)
This week’s episode is a mix of random projects we’ve been tackling around the boat all summer — the kind that never quite fit into any other video but still show the day-to-day progress of the build.
We’re checking in on the helm station, which has now been primed and attached to the cabin top, and Matt’s been working on new inserts for our throttle and controllers. I’ll also take you through some work around our flush deck hatches, which have been sealed up for the past year but are finally getting sanded, faired, and primed.
And to wrap it up, we’ve got a throwback clip from when Matt first primed the bows earlier this year — the first step in getting a clean, uniform surface after months of fairing.
This one’s a little all over the place, but that’s just how the summer has gone — catching up on bits and pieces before we finally move indoors next month to start installation work. The sanding season is officially coming to an end, and we couldn’t be happier about it!
