Building Grace: Hull Repair--Lessons Learned!

Noticed some discoloration along the starboard bow/chine after a sail recently--bad feeling as that means water was getting in somewhere.

Turned out I missed epoxy caulking about a 4" stretch along the stem inside, and learned some other lessons as well.

Next time building a boat like this, there are things I'd do differently to make all these factors easier--those conclusions in this video.

And, with the repairs complete, the boat was ready for an adventure, in the next video: road trip to Oklahoma Kerr Lake to sail with SV Seeker!
