When there is no breeze the belt sander does a good job of leveling the local high spots around the plywood planks on the radius chine. If the wind starts blowing in the direction of the neighbours I switch to a hand plane. A long heavy fibreglass batten and a lighter aluminium angle have proved very useful for locating high spots that need a little trimming.<br \/>\nAs reasonable progress has been made with the initial fairing today I made up a new torture board and have been up and down the port side. There is still a little to do on the port side but it is starting to look pretty fair. I tried spreading blue chalk on the hull and sanding it away with the torture board and that seems like a pretty useful technique except is is probably too exacting for this stage as we have yet to glass the hull and then will need to do it all again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_767\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-07-10.22.45.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-767\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-767 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-07-10.22.45-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Initial fairing on the starboard side \" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-07-10.22.45-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-07-10.22.45-1024x579.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-767\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Initial fairing on the starboard side<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_768\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-08-15.04.22.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-768\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-768 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-08-15.04.22-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Port side fairing showing the heavy fibreglass batten used for checking for high spots\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-08-15.04.22-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/2015-05-08-15.04.22-1024x579.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Port side fairing showing the heavy fibreglass batten used for checking for high spots<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fine weather has returned and so I am able to recommence the fairing of our Didi 40 Cr hull.
