This week, we're continuing the build of John Welsford's designed Pathfinder by installing the centerboard case using epoxy and West Systems glue powder. After that, I tackled the stem and forward frames, but not without hitting a snag! I discovered a mistake in the plans, but don’t worry—I came up with a simple workaround that keeps us on track. Plus, I dive into why cleaning up epoxy as you go is a game-changer for reducing mess, saving materials, and cutting down on sanding later.

Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply.
