sides are epoxyed on. |
 |
Sides and bottoms glued in place. |
 |
Keel and gripe (forward mini keel) in place. The hull is covered in Dynel cloth set in epoxy for abrasion resistance. |
 |
Dynel cloth weave was filled with thickened epoxy and sanded and filled again and sanded... and filled and sanded once more, and then again. |
 |
The waterline sets off the curves. |
 |
Finally the day came to flip the boat upright. It was very exciting! |
 |
First look inside. Moulds have been removed. |
 |
Knees in place. |
 |
All joints were filleted. That's the thickened white epoxy making a 90 degree joint into a nice curve. |
 |
Inside sealed with epoxy and primed. Carlins in place. |
 |
The rough cut decks temporarily put on for the visual reward. |
 |
I realized that there was no way to secure anything like coolers etc. so I added a stringer at waterline level and a miniature hand rail on the sides of the centre board trunk. Now there is a place to tie stuff down. |
