Spray Rails

Wood Strip

The spray rail is a triangular piece of wood attached to the bottom of the chine to direct the spray down. I put it on the bottom instead of the outside so it was not so easy to damage.

Faired

Spray rail faired in and ready for primer. I used white pigment and epoxy for this to make it a little stronger. Microballons make it a little softer.
