CX19 Offshore Cabin
( Classic 19 Express
)
"One Day"
"The CX19 is a true offshore boat with just the right hull
shape for fishing or family outings. The generous freeboard and
the classic sheer are also tried and true features contributing
to seaworthiness. This boat will negotiate both head and
following seas with ease."

It took an hour to epoxy each length of tape. The tape was precut to length and labelled. The weight of each length of tape was recorded. It took about 100g of epoxy to precoat the hull before
laying the tape. The outline of the tape was marked using coloured markers with a thin plastic template with slits cut into it. An equal amount of epoxy resin in weight was mixed in ice cream container for each length of tape. The tape was then saturated on the wet out board and rolled
onto a short length of broom stick. This will be made a larger diameter and have handles for taping the keel and transom. It was too slow to roll up the tape. The
new gloves worked well pressing the tape onto the hull. They are expensive $40 per hundred but were worth it when also used with cheap gloves. Also used cheap disposable
brushes with the bristle length cut in half.
Thumbnails 28 : Inside hull fillets completed. Will be lightly sanded before applying tape.
Thumbnails 27 : Inside hull sanded and ready to be taped.
Thumbnails 26 : Under makeshift shelter from the rain.
Thumbnails 25 : Finally on the trailer!
Thumbnails 24 : A very big thank you to my friends and family
that came and helped out on the big day to flip "One Day". It amazingly went to plan and happened
so quickly I could not believe it could be that easy. The rollover jig worked perfectly and am now
just waiting for the trailer on order to arrive.
Thumbnails 23 : I made some tracks to roll out the jig and hull. Was a mission but I actually
moved it out from shed on my own on the last day of my holidays.
Thumbnails 22 : One last coat of graphite and primer on the sides. Will finish
painting when final colour and design has been decided. Somehow I think the sides will be red.
Thumbnails 21 :
Sanding primer. I made some flexible sanders for the wet and dry paper out of a
foam fubber swing seat and a plastic sheet(1mm). I used Bostik spray adhesive to
glue them together. The wet and dry paper was also glued to the plastic backing sheet and then
trimmed. Mineral Turpentine cleans off the adhesive ready for the next sheet. Works very well but
the ultimate adjustible flexible sanders are by AFS
Sanders in the USA. I will be getting some when these diy's wear out. I can use
one sheet of 180 grit paper for all the primer now in a four hour session.

Blogging templates!
This is my first attempt at trying to get this template to look like the old site. I will get there and at least it can replace my old wiki. So still a lot of information to migrate over and then I can tidy up the template a little more!
I hope it has not been too inconvenient. I do get quite a few people looking at the site, so hopefully this will perform a little better than the old one in the back office!
Happy boat building,
Gerry
