Over the course of three days in April, the 24th through the 26th, I focused on getting the starboard dutchman patch in and faired to the existing surfaces. As I had done for the prior dutchman patches, I began with the hand plane, and then graduated to a finish sander to bring the patch down to fair with the surrounding toerail. Finally, I finished with hand sanding to ensure a seamless transition from the existing material to the new patch.
The damaged portion of Rhino's rails are now ready to receive filler for small voids, and for staining treatment. The staining will bring the existing, weathered rails, as well as the dutchman patches, into color uniformity with the balance of the boat's toe and handrails.
April 24th, 25th and 26th - Total Time 9 hrs
