Grit Blasting



Taking just over 11 hours, Tattersail received a full grit blasting treatment!


Two skids of sand, 150 psi continuous diesel air pump.

His suit is supplied with filtered air!

Rebirth from the cloud of dust... the wind was in our favor, coming in from behind me it blew everything out the front!

End results: Sandblasting was worth it!

It all starts at the keel...



Today was an exciting day as I was preparing for the sandblasting!


Cleaning up the keel, a new cover will be made of stainless steel.

Some welding... 

And grinding...

Now for a nights rest before the big day!
