NEALE TAYLOR TUNNEL FIN

 This board is a Neale Taylor tunnel fin.
Neale Taylor ran
Taylor's Boatshed at Woy Woy on the
NSW Central Coast.
Where Fishermans wharf is today.
These two logos appear to be
business cards.
 
 Pre restoration.
9' 3 1/2" x 21 1/2" x 3 1/2"
Nose 16 3/8"
Tail 15 3/8"
Pod 3"
 
 Four views of the fin.
It is made of chopped strand matt.
The resin was pigmented yellow.
As were the original stripes.
I suspect that the fin is not original.
There are the remains of two nails
in the stringer, in the tunnel
which would have been used to
position a single fin.

 Gloss coats down.
New pigment stripes under the gloss.
 
 Very flat rocker.
 
Finished.
