Restoring a 1972 Soling SWE 102

Sailboat restoration

Monday, December 31, 2018

A lot of work today, but not much to show for it. Sanding, filler sanding, repeat....

Once painted, it's going to look a lot different.

First piece of the floor installed. Not laminated yet. But glued in. The self bailer below the waterline is history. I plan to install at least two more floor pieces tomorrow.

New floor. H80 divinycell. Two layers of 450 g CSM on each side. Nice and strong, but lighter than old floor

My boat in the heated shop

I have decided to paint the hull and deck white. Will use Kiwigrip or something similar as non skid

Back working on my Soling. New mast support in alu/stainless in the works

Popular Posts

  • Finish work on the hull. Sanding to 2000 grit, and polish. Looks more like a gelcoat boat. Very happy with it
  • Painted the deck with Kiwi Grip today. Awesome paint. 5 hours spent, including several hours for masking and paint prep. Light grey against the white, I'm super happy.
  • More sanding... The nose job will be sanded to shape tomorrow
