Today I said farewell to ‘Talitha’s’ trailer after
delivering it to a new owner. Altogether I only used the trailer six times, but
as 'Talitha' is no longer owned by me, I have no reason for keeping it.
Therefore, from today, I can concentrate on making
‘Sandpiper’, my ‘C’ Type West Wight Potter, ready for the water. This afternoon,
to that end, I did a little work shaping two epoxy cheeks that I intend joining
to the centreplate box. They will be part of a new support system for the
galvanized iron centreplate. I shall drill holes through the cheeks to fit the
bolt upon which the centreplate articulates.
As explained in Friday’s post, I’m hoping I shall be able to
attach the cheeks to the centreplate box. I intend doing it with epoxy resin
and woven roving, but not before drilling holes through the cheeks to exactly
fit the bolt. I’ll have to perfectly align the holes with those already in the
box.
Now that I do not own ‘Talitha’ I shall no longer be
distracted by her, which will leave me free for making ‘Sandpiper’ ready
for the water.
