a celebration of sorts. the boat is flipped
Dear Micro builders and potential Micro builders.
After many hours of sanding and fairing the bottom I finally
flipped Micro over. Here is a hint to make the process a smooth one.
1. leave in the internal supports/braces that were put in to hold it
in alignment
2. have someone at work really get you worked up over something very
stupid
3. Go home and just grab her and through her over.
I know that 4 people were recommended for the project in Bernie's
instructions. But, I found that with the right amount of adrenaline
boiling in my blood that I was able to do the job in about 5 minutes.
Everything stayed in perfect (almost) alignment and nothing broke.
I now will move my shop indoors to complete the rudder/ sternpost/
and other indoor winter projects as micro is safely bundled up for the
New England winter.
Peace,
