Well, this is round one with the bagger. I didn't even do a test pull for practice. No time for wastin' I had one day off so we put all chips on the table.
Worked like champ! One problem I over looked is the form leaked air in from a seam underneath. That caused the compressor to run non-stop. I didn't like doing that and I'm sure the smaller pieces will workout much better for the compressor. At this point it's all 'blah-blah-blah'...let's get on with the pictures!

Tony, two questions....
1. How are you sealing the edges of the bag to the form? It looks like one side has a piece of angle aluminum clamping down one edge. What about the other edges?
2. Did you say that you had a pair of Lewmar 42's sitting around doing nothing.....
....
What would you sell those for?
....
Lewmar 42's would make ideal secondaries on my big boat.

Agreed. Tony, Please let us in on the PROCESS.
Would like to see a photo series on bagging - with commentary.
something!
I just wallowed around in an old thread that's up on the Board currently. That's the Exterior Varnish thread willie started in 2004(?)
Anyway there are pics of his Ariel #350 with VERY shippy winch peninsulas.
I'm glad a fossil thread has been restored again. But I really miss the guys who aren't posting anymore....sniff....
BIG THANKS to those who chime in and continue to make this a wonderful spot to visit!
"Anyway there are pics of his Ariel #350 with VERY shippy winch peninsulas."

1. Being the cheap skate that I am I currently use a 3M window insulating kit for 'mastic' and 'bagging film'No kidding! It was hanging out in a corner of the shop and I thought, "let's just give it a try." I suppose I will eventually have to order some professional grade 'stuff' but until this is used up, or doesn't work any more, I'll stay the course.
That aluminum channel was a last ditch effort to seal what I thought was the culprit seal letting in the air. It turned out to be somewhere else.
B. Yes I have a pair of 42 STs up in my boat supply room. I sent you a private message.

I started taking a series of pics last night on the whole bagging process as I do it. I won't say that I'm doing it right, but when I first started looking into this process there seemed to be alot of DIY techniques. Some kind of sketchy and tight on info. So I thought we'd buy a manual from the Gougeon Brothers. It turned out to be a general info guide and a bunch of sales lit. Go figure. Then I tried contacting a few people actually doing it. Jack pot. Turns out it's not rocket science! We'll see what happens...
Finally got a couple of days off and went to see the boat. What a gal...
I've had this idea in my head of what I thought was appropriate or good or right. No. After sitting for what must have been hours I resigned to the fact that the boat would tell me what should happen. Things went much smoother then.
Here's the nav desk area, galley drop-ins, area where the refer will go (Engle35),another nav area, companionway shot, cockpit storage access.
Oops. Reached the five photo max. I guess if I did this more often I'd know about these 'rules'.
We added the port side nuthin' photo.
