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.
