Welcome to Part 2 of
Welcome to Part 2 of the fiberglassing saga! We continue with the epoxy and fiberglass repairs of our Beneteau 49 sailboat. Last week we finished the glassing in the forward cabin and now we tackle the huge job of the main bilge area. It goes extremely well... with the layup schedule and other pressing time constraints, we aren't able to use peel ply, but instead just knock it all out in one big layup! It was absolutely nuts.
If you've read this far, thanks! You'll probably also be one of the people who notices all the white spots and blotches - that is not dry glass or delaminated glass. It is silica thickened epoxy that we used to level out the surface in prep for the fiberglass, giving it the best chance of a perfect bond! The epoxy we're using causes the fiberglass to go very translucent when wet and the silica can still be seen in some places through 10+ layers of new glass!
Thanks for watching-
With love

Our Boat
2008 Beneteau 49
3 cabin 2 head
4JH4-TE
Westerbeke generator
Mast, sails and rig are in excellent condition and in storage
Here's what we think we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground - hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See We Buy a SALVAGE SAILBOAT at Auction!... for how we came to own her!
