SAM was a great help on the boat today as we applied 11' of rub rail where the spring lines have been rubbing the teak cap rail. While doing this we decided to get 2x10' section plus 2x6' section so that the
fenders do not rub the edge of the cap rail. Man, I wish they would have put a mid-ship hawser hole in the original design of the ship.
The rub rail process involved cutting the stainless steel, drilling a few holes in the hard stuff, counter sinking the holes. We made 2x 24 1/2" strips and 2x 35 1/2" and used a cheap Harbor Freight angle grinder with a thin cuttoff blade. We used it to take the burs off and square the ends. It took longer than we expected.
SAM now is using the free time to go and buy clothes for a Texas wedding in early April.. Again I am left to my own devices to make a reasonable dinner. Bummer. Woe is me and all that stuff :)
