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!
