More Carbon, and more wood.

So, after about 5 or 6 weeks, we're smoking along very nicely. After receiving the prodder and sleeves from C-Tech, progress on that area happened very quickly. The outer sleeve has now been secured to the hull and the forward-most bulkhead. 500mm wide Carbon tape as well as fiberglass was used to attach it through the side of the bow.We're now in the process of deciding on a set-up for our tackline and pole extension systems.

The other thing that we've started doing is the floor of the
cabin. We've so far completed the starboard side of the cabin, and should be finishing it all in the coming week.

Caaaarbon.

So, after filleting everything, and having a look at the boat, we decided not only that we wanted Carbon Taping in some areas, but that we also wanted to stiffen the hull a bit more, as well, as adding deck supports, and cockpit floor supports. So we've put 100mm Carbon Tape down through the centre, and then resined it on. We've run it along from the bow to the stern, including the crash bulkhead. Our chain plates look and feel as though the Hulk couldn't pull them out, so we're happy with that. Also, our prodder has arrived from C-Tech, so I'll put some
pictures up of that asap.
