Rub-rail #1 bend baby bend!

Put the first piece of mahogany rail on the port side. Hard to bend around the bow. The more length that sticks out past the bow the better.

It is holding. Hope it glued up well.

The Sapele I had clamped in to bend it for dry fit. Would not force it right into the bow. After being there a couple days one of the two length failed. See picture. Not sure I am going to be able to bend the Sapele to get it in place.

Waterline struck and first coat.

Figured out how to strike the waterline with the laser level. I just didn’t have the laser level back far enough Then got the first coat done and it looks good so far. Pettit EZPoxy Electric Sapphire blue with additive. Using roll and tip.
