Mama H Chicago
Mother of sailboats
Chicago is home, but I’m in Michigan this week taking care of my niece and nephew while parents are on business trips…. Lo and behold! I just picked up the two sheets of 1/4” marine plywood I have been trying to source locally with zero success, for months. This is to replace Red Rubber Duck, the 1950’s Sailfish’s deck. Saved myself around $600 in shipping costs!
Now to perfect the art of scarfing them together on plain old cheap plywood before I dare try doing it on my scarce mahogany.
