New Year's Eve

Well, here we are again at the end of another year. I hope yours has been good.

I'm wrapping up 2018 by looking ahead to next year's boating season, and getting Perseverance ready for the water. Over the last couple of days, I've been sanding and encapsulating the new battery tray.

The main battery tray. This will be mounted underneath the rear thwart. The "door" is removable, allowing the battery to slide out from under the seat.

Here's the removable "door" with its first layer of epoxy curing.

The overall tray, with the latches removed for finishing.


Looking back over the year, 2018 has been a big year for the Zip. A year ago, Frame #4 wasn't even assembled yet. Now, it's all on the construction form and we're in the fairing process even while we're still adding the remaining longitudinals. There's a long way to go, and who knows what the coming year will bring.

Here's to a safe and prosperous 2019.
