Yesterday Robi finished the fiberglass & gel coat work at both stems. This was necessary because I will replace the rub rails. Old holes need to be closed and the surface need to be made smooth with gel coat.
Today we pre-attached the rub rails. For this work 4 hands are needed and Robi had good expressive in such work.

The black rub rail gives a nice contrast to the white hull.

On Monday we fill the holes for the screw with marine adhesive sealant and fix it finally. This includes also the work to get a smooth corner madev of marine adhesive sealant. It will prevent dirt getting under the rub rails.

We could not yet attach the rubber of the sail drive due to rain.

Weather forecast did not match at all the reality today.

Hope now that I can start coppercoat patching on Tuesday/Wednesday. All the time spent for rain protection of the small areas to be patched was really good. No chance to rely on a weather forecast which days 2 days no rain.
