Starting to rough-fair main hull

Categories: Main Hull
With this post I think I am finally caught up. I’ll try and take more pictures again and post in a timely manner. The bow is closed in from the bow-web to the keel and we decided to add the extra 3⁄4″ foam to the exterior – this actually happened before laminating on the keel but I forgot to add it. Have the bow template set up with the position of the bobstay-eye but need to add the interior layers of foam to the bow before that can be positioned and laminated into place.

New position for a new year

Happy 2009 everyone! We disassembled the form frames last night (except for 5 and 8 to support the hull) and spent the morning lifting the hull and turning upright to support on cradles made that morning (again, supported at 5 and 8). We had a hook in the ceiling (and added a second half-way through the process) and ran a strap around the cabin bulkhead at station 8. No pictures of this – was just dad and I performing this feat and taking pictures was not on the mind.

Massive update – sorry for the delay

Alright – It’s been too long. I apologize for the delay. Between work, travel (for work), work and more work, what boat-related stuff we did took a back burner to documenting it. Buy the time I had a moment to sit down, there were so many pictures I felt overwhelmed to update. This post covers everything from the last update until 31-December 2008. Some pictures were taken with my cell phone, some of them might be a little out of order but hopefully they make sense… Basically, you get what you paid for… 🙂
