Rabbet Plane




I have blister between my index and long finger from this tool. Each side deckbeam had to be planed off at an angle to create a slightly curved upper surface. The top of the carlin was cut away until the angled surface met the inside (cockpit) edge.

I also spent time on the dock and in the garvey, pumping her out and looking for leaks. Found a bunch along the chines and one at the back of the centerboard case. Snugged all the bolts along the case, that seemed to help a bit. Pumped her out again at lunch and again right at five. Hopefully she'll keep swelling up and plug the remaining few if we can be patient.
