Daggerboard trunk & keel dry-run (pre-glue-up)

Added blocking under rear to try to avoid the skewing of the centerline that frequently happens here. Thinking about drilling pilot screws at pivot points to help minimize the time it takes lining everything up during glue-up (of course I'll fill the holes later with epoxy). It's still in the 90's here in Arizona and even slow-cure epoxy dries fast here.

  1. Was the blocking successful in keeping the center alignment? If so, what thickness did you use? I will be starting my own Pocketship here in the next month (whenever it is ready for shipping)

    1. Slowly getting there. Personally, I think everything will be flexible enough that the keelson should straighten out any imperfections. Will keep you posted.
