Discussion and Innovation..

So, 3 weeks since we started and the build is coming along very well.We've filleted all of the interior joins, and glassed/taped all but two/three of them. Today, we put two structural 'stringers' in the transom to back frame area. These are for three purposes;
1) Support for the cockpit floor when it's put on;
2) Give strength to and to stiffen up the hull; and
3) As side supports for the icebox/eski will be located under the cockpit floor near the transom, easily accessible through a hatch in the floor.

And of our stiffening along the side-rear panels..
























We're looking to try and start laminating the keel blade in the next couple of days, however we're still looking for lead for the bulb, so that presents a bit of an issue.
Look forward to posting more pictures in the coming days.

  1. Wow! You guys are going great guns! We are having a bit of alignment problems with our build so we may go backwards before going forwards again (Recheck the cut of the sides and bottom).

    Good luck with your build.
