Sorry ’bout that..  it’s been slow going but we’ve still made progress here and there..  these are some pictures I took last weekend showing current state of the main hull.  I’ll go back to actually updating this when we do work… really.. 🙂 [nggallery id=15]

Apparently I forgot to take any pictures of the mold-plate we used around the forward beam bulkhead to form the uni-directional lamination. It consisted of some very thin wood-laminate from an old cabinet project and on the sharper radius bends towards the bunk-top, some of the black-plastic lawn trim. We did the uni-directional and inside B-spec cloth last night, followed by some sanding/grinding this morning after removing the mold plates. The areas right next to the bunk-top are extremely difficult to laminate, but I think it should hold together just fine.
